How to disassemble fuel pump?

[Cumsterdump]

i picked up a bosche pump, regulator, and new screens (i really hope they are genuine parts) and i want to toss them in to stop my long crank condition. but i dont see any articles about how to actually disassemble the fuel pump down to it’s individual components. before i drop my tank and overwhelm myself. is it pretty straight forward?

Thread 'How to replace your fuel pump without replacing the whole assembly'

Ok, I figured I'd post this here since I haven't seen it anywhere else. I've been chasing a hard start issue on my tj and got down to the in tank pump. I knew the sending unit was still good, but wanted the peace of mind of having a new pressure regulator and pump. I also didn't want to fork over ~$200 for a new assembly when I knew I could find a pump and regulator for much less. I didn't take pictures during the process because I'm a dumba$$ and this was the last thing I did on a Saturday so I was ready to be done. This only applies for 97-04 TJ's I believe. Assuming you've managed to...

YouTue is where I went when I did my 05. Run as much fuel out of the tank as you can to lower the weight. Be careful with the hoses on the tank. I broke a plastic fitting on mine while lowering the tank and before I had enough room to get my hand in there.

I modified a HF trans jack to lower the tank. My 05 pump is retained in the tank differently than your 01.

I needed to fabricate a tool to remove and reinstall it.
