Thanks

Take out back seat - 2 or 3 bolts for bottom squab down where your heels would be if you were sitting in the seat, 2 or 3 bolts at bottom of rear seatback once the bottom half is removed (can't remember exact number of bolts). Seats just lift out - time required 3-4 minutes

Remove panel over gap in bulkhead between boot and passenger compartment - 2 minute job in my P1

Remove panel in floor on the right hand side revealing tank with a panel with fuel lines going in and out of it - 2-3 mins

PUT OUT *** Actually do it outside or somewhere well ventilated. sensible to disconnect battery too.

Remove pipes & panel in tank and the fuel pump assembly comes with it. Time a few mins

It's pretty self evident what to do from there which is just to swap the new pump for the old one with a little bit of fiddling with the electrical connections on the walbro to connect to the existing loom connections. The new pump just clips in place of the existing one so no jiggery pokery apart from you should re-use the existing fuel filter net thing attached to the original pump.

Re assemble

All in all for a first timer - probably an hour's work. Pro's 20mins or so.

Don't be surprised at how noisy a bugger the new pump is - you will be able to hear it whirring away pretty clearly.

HTH

I seem to remember that Ravensblade.com had something with photos on it - that website was forced to change it's name but i think it'll still redirect you. If I can find the Url, I'll post it

 

Edted for safety!!!

Anyhoo here's some photos and stuff - apparently there are two different types of fittings on classics; on one it's a straight swap, on the other there is a little bit of jiggery pokery to get it to fit and the connections to go together. Still under an hour to do it all though even with boogering around

Cheers for the info people actually looks quite complicated from the pics of Scoobymagazine!!

 

It might do, but it isn't really -for instance " you might need some assistance getting the back seat out"?? If you have one arm you might!!.


The only fiddly bit is the disconnecting and reconnecting of the pump, but that's a few minutes.

 

Before starting, de pressurize the system. Get access to the pump cover where the 3 hoses are, and unplug the electrical connector. Start the car and it will runfor a short while before cutting out. then disconnect the battery and continue with the above procedure.

oh, and use the original subaru sock as well as most aftermarket pumps socks aren't suitable
