I've opened up the door and disconnected the wiring. I see the fuel sender, it seems to be snapped into an orange housing basket for the fuel pump. Where is the release button? (under the pump housing basket?)

After I get out the sender, is it really just two snaps to get the pump out? Does the housing basket also come out?

Think you need a special tool for this

can be done without a special tool. There is a writeup in teh faq i think

Thought it can be done with two screwdrivers to push in the tabs

ScratchRob13

yup it can

I already unscrewed a black collar holding the fuel tank cover on.

Yea... hard to explain the whole inner-assembly needs to twist that holds the fuel pump.

Isn't turning the fuel pump inside the inner assembly the same thing?

ScratchRob13

just twist the entire assembly it take a lot of effort.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/44541.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/44541.phtml</a></li></ul>
