easy . a bit tight to get at. 2 mounting bolts,don't lose the round actuating rod that the pump loads up against. jack up the vehicle at the front. then fuel won't siphon out of the delivery hose.

if its gone you probably have loads of petrol in your engine oil also . i hope i dont have to tell you to change oil and filter if that is the case after the repair.

cool thanks wish all cars were an easy as the cortinas
rod won't pop out. pump is under slight spring pressure. fuel system on later cortinas was dangerous in an accident. if the shunt effected the front suspension. the main beam would move back.The fuel line that was well secured to the x member would pop of the pump,letting petrol siphon from the tank.
