I replaced the fuel pump on my SIII once many years ago, and like TeriAnn,
I don't recall there was anything tricky whatsoever about the job. Disconnect
the fuel in and out lines, remove the glass sediment bowl so it won't break
when you accidentally drop the pump, remove the couple of bolts or nuts holding
the pump to the block, and that's it.
I wouldn't be surprised if I had to use an open-end wrench on the bolts
at the time, as I'm always running into that sort of thing on the Land Rover,
but I don't recall fighting a stubborn fastener that was overly hard to get at. I
don't even remember if I did the job from above or below the vehicle, but if I
did it from above, I'm sure I removed the bonnet entirely as it really gets in your
way when you do these sort of jobs. But I would have used the factory service
manual and followed the instructions to the letter. I seem to recall the whole job
took less than an hour, but I may be mis-remembering that.
