Urgent--- rear seat removal to access fuel pump

[ethansdad]

Fuel pum has gone out on my 2001. Cannot get the rear passenger seat back out to save my life. Any suggestions?

Did you remove the bolt on the side under the removable portion(bolster)? Once you remove it and unclip the wiring connector you should be able to pull the set forward slightly and slide it towards the door opening. The other connetion to the seat is really just a big pin that slides into the drivers side portion of the seat. You'll also have to remove the metal bar under the seat to access the plate.

That was it Eric, Am tackling tomorrow (parts should be here). Have been stuck here since Thursday. Only problem I foresee is loosening/removing pump retainer ring witout special tool (but I've improvised in worse situations).
