Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Safety First
Before you begin working on your vehicle, it's important to take all necessary safety precautions. This includes wearing safety glasses and gloves, and parking your vehicle on a level surface. It's also a good idea to disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical accidents.

The new fuel pump should come with a new fuel filter and fuel line clamps. Install the new fuel filter and fuel line clamps before installing the new fuel pump. To install the new fuel pump, simply reverse the steps that you used to remove the old fuel pump. Once the new fuel pump is installed, reconnect the fuel lines and electrical connectors.
4. Test the New Fuel Pump
Before you put the bed back on, it's important to test the new fuel pump. To do this, simply turn the key to the "on" position. You should hear the fuel pump priming. Once the fuel pump has primed, you can start the engine. If the engine starts and runs smoothly, then the new fuel pump is installed correctly.
5. Replace the Bed
Once you've tested the new fuel pump, you can replace the bed. To do this, simply reverse the steps that you used to remove the bed.
