Does anyone done fuel pump replacement because mine just quit at 169k miles and got a whole new assembly unit. Question is how do you access to the fuel pump because I have the factory manual and does not say or show access to rear seat or drop the tank. Can anyone shed light on this? Mine is a 87 Maxima SE and google is useless hoping to find more info before I tackle this job
i know 3rd gens you just pull the bottom rear seat cushion and its accessible from under the seat cushion, near certain 2nd gen would be the exact same
Here’s the OEM pump I bought. You have to remove the whole back seat. Once you take it out there’s 4 screws to the top of the fuel pump and also a gas line held by a clamp. I had to remove the fuel tank due to the inside being rusted.
Here’s a comparison of a rusted one and one with salt deposits.
oh wow, that is pretty bad, thanks for the clarity and the pics it really help. I am ready to tackle it, however I know there's a tank seal is that seal on the outside of the tank or the big O ring is under the pump module?
