I searched for how to remove the stock fuel pump but came up with 0 results so now I need help.

I removed the bottom part of the back seat, and took off the metal shield over the fuel pump. I unpluged the wires to the pump and now Im not sure how to get the actaul pump out without breaking anything. Can anyone help me out? thanks

Did you take the fuel lines off? If it is like the GS-T there will be a return fuel hose which will be held on by clamp. Remove that. Go under the car and find the fuel feeding line going from the fuel pump to the engine. Somewhere close to where the fuel line goes under the car by the fuel pump will be a connector that connects 2 sections of the fuel line. Disconnect it here, because it has a connector that rotates where the one of the fuel pump cover doesn't rotate at all and you will just be turning the whole fuel line there. Once those are off and the little screw cover thingys around the outer edge of the fuel pump cover, you can pull it right out. The fuel pump is attached to the cover.
 
Ok cool thanks.

Also now i made my own rewire kit. How do I get the power wire from the pump to the outside of the tank so i can hook up my power line?

Again, I am not sure if this is the same as a GS-T but there is a wiring harness that runs through the firewall. It is in the middle of a big rubber boot type thing that protects the wires from rubbing against the metal frame and shorting out. You run it through there. Then take off the plastic molding on the bottom of the door and lift the carpet up. You run it next to the wires running on the inside edge of the car right where the plastic molding is coming out. (FYI there is a kick plate on the passenger side, take of the 2 or three bolts ofr that and you should see the harness behind it.) Follow this link:
