changing fuel pump redneck style

[olranger]

i did this last night, with lights, tree, chain and come along. this is my 89 ranger i had to put a fuel pump in. then i added some paint to the frame.

I don't know how redneck your repair or what I saw at the junkyard today was,
But on a 91 STX "someone" had taken a cutting torch to the bed and cut about a square foot out of the bed above the fuel pump...oh yea it had a plastic bed liner on it too...cut that at the same time...just one pass

I was waiting to see a hole cut in the bed. I dont think pulling it off the way you did was bad.

Me too, but I think it's the come-along and the scraggly-ass tree that makes it a little bit redneck.

lol, definitely the tree!

But...hey, life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Right, olRanger? lol

just unbolt the drivers side....loosen the passenger and jack it up...or push it up and prop it with a piece of wood...dont really need a jack.

if its as rotted and the bolts spin in the keeps i tend to cut a door in the bed from above with the tank covered by a welding blanket.....and i use a sawzall very carefully

yep, do what you can and the hell with the rest. it took me maybe and hour, and another hour to find bolts in the garage. they all broke but one.
