difficult.it is inside the fuel tank.
The fuel pump is inside the fuel tank. You will need to disconnect the filler and vent lines, plus the fuel lines and the electric lines. Drain or siphon as much fuel as possible from the tank. Unfasten the tank retaining straps and leave the tank down. May have to twist and turn to clear the exhaust. There is a lock ring that holds the tank unit in place that must be removed. Then you can remove the unit and swap in the new pump. I would definitely get a new pump. It is a lot of work to do this twice when the used pump you bought doesn't work or doesn't last.
You don't buy a used fuel pump. You can buy an aftermarket, but on a part that so much of your life depends on, this is an item I would fork over the extra few bucks and get from a dealer. Get the whole assembly. It runs about $384.00 and comes with the sender, and a new seal for the gas tank. To change the fuel pump, you raise the rear end of the car high enough that the tank can be dropped and slid out from under it. Loosen the two hose clamps from the hoses on the tank filler neck. You will see two metal straps that hold the tank in place. You have to take the bolt out of the end of each strap. This will let the tank fall so watch your head. You also may want to be careful not to spill fuel when you lower the tank. The tank has to be worked down slowly, so you don't rip the wires off the connector where they plug onto the fuel pump. When you can access the plug, unplug it from the pump on top of the tank. You will also have to disconnect the fuelk lines from the top of the unit as well. Work the tank down, while working the filler neck hoses off the filler neck, leaving those hoses attached to the tank. When you have the tank on the ground, you will see the round clip and the electrical connection where the pump comes out. Take a screw driver and a hammer, and gently tap the tabs on the retainer clip, counterclockwise. The clip will pop free after a few taps. If it is excessively rusty, it may take more than a gentle tap, but try not to break off the tabs. You should be able to lift the pump out of the tank, but you may have to gently pull it, so the strainer doesn't fall off into the tank. Installation is the reverse of removal. This is also a good time to change the fuel filter, and check your other maintenance needs. Good luck. This job isn't too bad really.
