How to change the fuel pump in a 1992 firebird?

we're thinking the fuel pump went out, and we dont know how to change it or the cost.How to change the fuel pump in a 1992 firebird?
drop the fuel tank. suck the gas out somehow, or you can hit the tank with a hammer....or something to send a good vibration through it...this will free the pump for a few more cranks. My fuel pump went out in my 92 gmc, I used a tow hook to beat on the tank, it fired everytime...just listen for the pump to kick on when the key is in the on position. hope this helps.How to change the fuel pump in a 1992 firebird?
Can cost over 100 depending on the pump. If you have my luck, the tank will be FULL. Siphon out the fuel before you drop the tank or you will have real problems when it drops. Get as much fuel out as possible. You may also need a fuel line release kit. Usually small plastic tools that you slip into the fitting and pop off the connection. Can find those at any good auto parts store. Usually a bit of a pain but be patient and you will get them off. Also the fuel pump is usually held in by a cam lock ring. Easy to remove and replace. Just don't overdo it when you put it back together.
