Does a 2002 Cavalier have a trunk access panel to change the fuel pump?

My fuel Pump just died and the shop is asking $640.00 to replace it since they only use oem factory parts and the pump cost $450.00. I could just buy a Bosch for 275.00 but If I have to drop the tank I'm not even gonna attempt it.



Thanks for the help!

No, the trunk floor pan does not have an access panel. After doing many a fuel tank pump change, one learns where to make the cut in the trunk floor pan. This is called flat rating. A gallon paint can lid makes a nice cover to replace the hole that was cut slightly smaller then the paint lid. Note: this does not apply to all vehicles and the customer should be informed of what you are doing.

The fuel pump is in the tank itself.



The worst part of changing a fuel pump is draining the gas. It's not fun but it's not difficult either.
dealers get there money fixing stuff for a reason , engineers design it so you don't wanna fix it , YES you need to drop the tank
No...its in the tank.
no you are gonna have to drop the tank
