So I started with the 1st gen thread:
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums...t-gen-gas-tank-fuel-pump-access-panel.182160/
And got about this far along:
Used an air chisel and it cut through like butter, until I got to the crossmember, which slowed it down a little, and not quite as clean, but it did the job.
Now here is where I am, and the seat belt mount is still in the way. Broke the chisel, and don't really want to cut too far into that. I trimmed as much of the cross member as I could.
I was hoping I'd be able to shimmy the pump out, but no room. I guess I have to lower the tank a bit until I can get the clearance I need. Bummer. That's what I was trying to avoid. So close!
