Hi, Just like to know to replace the fuel pump in my VLCT, how difficult really is it and would i need to back up onto ramps to conduct the replacement? Cheers Matt

Very simple mate , basically disconnect wiring and pump from the tank and make sure its empty and unbolt the straps then lower the tank and replace intank pump and everything esle... you put it on stands or just trolly jack even.. very simple

Give us a yell if you get stuck with any pump because I've just dealt with this over the last couple of months.

Don't you start your engine first & remove the fuel pump fuse to depressurize to fuel lines.

Just follow the vl manual, you dont need to drop the fuel tank to do it.

He might wanna lower the tank slightly to have the freedom to maneuver the INT pump; External one is easier.

jack it up from the body and let the diff drop. Then you have plenty of room to maneuver it back in
