Buy an auto repair manual, either online or at an auto parts store, for that particular year and model. (I prefer Haynes manuals over Chilton's). It will have a detailed procedure for replacing the pump (plus, it'll be useful for many other repairs). Warning: If the pump can't be accessed from the trunk or under the back seat, you'll have to detach and lower the fuel tank, which is a fairly major project (though definitely possible for a do-it-yourselfer).

i cant be avoided sometimes you just have to bit the bullet and remove the tank.

ok i'm going to guess that you have a gasoline engine with a side tank like in a pickup truck. if you have a diesel let me know, things might be a little different. here's the step by step for a gas side tank. before you start, disconnect the battery negative cable.
1. drain the fuel from the tank (they don't tell you how, just get as much out as you can)
2.raise and safely support vehicle (get it high enough that you can get under it to work on it)
3.loosen the fuel neck hose at fuel neck and disconnect filler neck from tank
4.support tank and remove tank support straps and insulator strips
5.remove frame mounted bracket
6.lower fuel tank shield
7.lower fuel tank enough to gain access to fuel and electrical connections
8.disconnect fuel feed and vapor hoses
9.disconnect electrical connectors
10.remove fuel sender assembly and seal ring
now to install new tank
1.install NEW seal ring and install sender
2.raise tank enough to connect fuel feed /vapor hoses and electrical connector
3.raise tank fully
4.install fuel tank shield
5.connect fuel tank filler neck and tighten clamp
CAUTION tighten fuel strap fasteners in steps, alternating between straps, until proper torque is reached. failure to properly follow this step can cause bottom of tank to deform. fuel gauge may read improper level if this occurs
6.install fuel tank brackets and insulator strips
torque nuts to 115 in-lbs
7.install fuel tank filler cap
8.connect battery negative cable
9.turn ignition switch off and on and check for leaks
it's pretty much the same for rear tank, just different location, may have off-road shield in back and torque spec is 47 ft-lbs, not 115 in-lbs. you still have to alternate when you torque straps or you risk deforming tank. hope that helps
SOURCE: I have a 2001 chrysler Concorde.Where do i drain the fuel tank?
If the pump acces is at the top of the tank,,,
Some times (on some cars) you can get to it by removing the back seat.. Not sure about acces on your car..
SOURCE: replacing fuel pump do i need to remove tank 1993
No, you don't have to drain the fuel tank. All you have to do is relieve the fuel pressure. If your car will start, remove the fuse or relay for the fuel pump and start the car. Let it idle until it stalls. Then turn off the key and remove the negative battery cable (to prevent sparks while you work).
I hope this helps.
