Owen, great video!

If you don't mind a few comments. Just after you removed the access hatch I also noticed the dirt and dust. I would have cleaned the entire area before removing anything, especially the hose connections and wire connectors. You don't want even a speck of debris on the new pump. You were smart to cover the tank opening immediately after removing the old pump.

It's a shame you didn't have a friend to hold the camera; many of the shots were held low and I was yelling "Raise the camera! Raise the camera!". He He!

You're lucky you have a 2001. My '99 requires dropping the tank. I still have the original pump after 212,000 miles (Knock on wood).
