How do I change the fuel pump on my Mazda 626?

I have a '94 Mazda 626 and need to know how to change the fuel pump from start to finish. What wires to disconnect, how to get to the tank, do i need to remove the tank, etc. Please help!How do I change the fuel pump on my Mazda 626?You'll have to drop the tank, and you'll need to disconnect the pre-silencer exhaust pipe to get to it. And I believe (I had a '93, but this was a while back) that there's a locking cam to hold the pump in place, which requires either a special tool or a whole lot of elbow grease.



Before you do anything, of course, you have to kill the fuel system pressure. Start the car, pull the relay (it's in the fuse box under the hood), and wait for it to die.
