haha... You will need to remove the whole tank. You need to remove your exhaust system and then lower your rear axle assembly to access the tank enough to pull it out. I reccommend using a hoist for the job. I don't think it is possible on the ground. A shop would charge approx 400$ for installation. If you are handy with a wrench its do able. And if its not going anywhere it will give you something to do. :)

The 1982-02 camaro/firebird has one of the hardest to remove fuel tanks I have ever seen.



To change the elec pump you have to remove or atleast drop tank down.



To do this you pretty much have to drop the rear axle housing. The tank is only held in place by 2 straps with a bolt in each strap plus the filler neck. To get it to come down though you have to have body jacked up and supported high on stands, then you can remove shocks, panhard rod, torque arm, wheels, etc front rear end and if car is high enough up, then you can just let the rear end down, then pull tank and you might have enough clearance to get to the pump.



Alot of people even cuts the floor above gas tank, and removes pump from the top/inside of car
its not an easy task.you have to remove the rear axle and coponents then loosen the tank straps.unplug the conectors and fuel lines and remove the tank.once the tank is out you turn the lock ring and remove the pump.
