fuel pump

guys got a link or something for how to install the walbro 255 in the 1995 eclipse's?

I don't have a link but I might be able to help you out.
Take out the bottom part of the back seat.
Unplug fuel pump electric harness.
Start car and let it die.
Take off the gas cap.
You will still spill some fuel so get a towel.
Unhook fuel lines and unbolt fuel pump housing.
Pull out the fuel pump housing and take a good look.
Unhook the fuel pump from the housing and put the walbro back on the same way as stock. You might have to trim the rubber hose on the feed.
My walbro was about a half inch longer then the stocker so I had to drill a hole in the bottom bracket, this is real easy.
Put it all back toeather the way you found it.

The hard line will be very difficult to get off. If you can't don't keep trying you will kink it and have to replace it. There is another method. Let us know if you have problems.

Out or curiousity what is the other method?

Underneath the car, by the front of the rear passenger side wheel there is another connection for the same line, just slide the proper sized wrenches on and unbolt it there, then you have to cut about 3 inches into the frame around the fuel pump housing, and fold it apart, so that when you go to pull the housing out there will be room for the hose to come with it.

When re-installed tap it back down with a hammer.

Yeah I hope to never go this route. Just be patient with the hardline and use wrenches not plyers and you should be fine.

It's really simple and if the hard line is stuck, will save you alot of time and probably money. Spending alot of time on the hard line can and WILL kink it.
