Fuel pump replacement problem

[Poman]

After all these years I finally got around to want to replace my fuel pump so I can possibly get rid of the CEL once for all. The 8 screws on the fuel bracket I just can't get them off. I got wd40, pb blaster, even bought Aerokroil and I just keep stripping the screw heads. It's not I don't have the proper tools. Sometimes the hardest part of upgrading for me is to loosing those damn screws. Anyone who got the fuel pump replaced had any trouble with the screws at all? I think at this point I may have cut the screws and use a flat head instead....not really fond of using a dremel tool around the fuel tank... Any thought would be appreciated.

Problem solved...I must be having the over the hill syndrome again. The screws have philip head on it but it's also hexed...doh! Sometimes I figured it out myself by posting questions here... :oops:

Well, glad you solved your problem. If you still were having a problem, I have two words of advice for you: vice grips. They're not the prettiest, but sometimes that's all that you can use.
