Diz is correct here. Changed a fuel pump in a Ranger one time the hard way. Dropped the tank, took a gas bath, cursed Henry Ford and all his relatives.
Next time it needed done, was telling my new brother-in-law about having to replace the fuel pump. He volunteered to help. I was thinking he was a glutton for punishment but at least I'd have someone to get my beer for me.
He came by, sprayed the bed bolts with "Blaster" penetrating oil. I thought he was crazy. He climbed in the bed and started taking the bolts out and I demanded to know what he was doing. He looked at me kinda strange and told me he was replacing the pump.
We moved the bed to the side, put the new pump in and replaced the bed. Literally took about 45 minutes. That included a beer break.
I told my sister-in-law that he was a keeper.
