How to get to the fuel pump on a 1989 honda civic.?

My car turns over but wont start. This happened like two months ago. I changed the fuel pump then, And re-soldered the relay. The car worked fine for like two months then it wouldn't start again. I disconnected the fuel line going into the fuel filter and tried to start it and the gas barely streamed out. I think it might be the fuel filter in the gas tank. Is there any other way to get to the filter without taking the gas tank all the way off. Is there any other suggestions.

Most Honda vehicles have a panel under the back seat for you to be able to change the fuel pump with out having to remove the fuel tank.

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank.



Disconnect the negative battery cable.



Relieve the fuel system pressure.



Raise and safely support the vehicle.



Remove the fuel tank drain bolt and drain the fuel into a suitable container.



On Civic models (except CRX and Wagon) unplug the fuel pump electrical connector in the trunk. On CRX, remove the storage compartment and unplug the fuel pump electrical connector. On Civic Wagon, remove the rear seat and carefully disengage the fuel pump electrical harness.



On Civic Wagon with 4WD, remove the driveshaft from the rear differential and the exhaust pipe and muffler.



Remove the 2-way valve cover and fuel hose protector.



Unbolt the fuel lines.



Place a suitable support under the fuel tank.



Remove the fuel tank strap nuts and let the straps hang.



Remove the fuel tank.



Remove the fuel pump mounting nuts and the fuel pump.



To install:



Install the pump assembly into the tank and make sure the unit is properly sealed.

Put about three gallons of fuel into the tank and test the system.
