Only links I can find are here and not sure if they will help much. Hope Joatmon will chime in as he is a guru with a lot of things Vibe related. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... d?id=37896

Disconnect the lines and electrical. Grab the white ribbed ring and turn it counter-clockwise (as I recall), it may be stubborn and some force may be required. Then you should be able to pull the fuel pump out!

Place a towel around the metal floor of the car, if your hands slip you may end up with a nice flesh wound! A hammer and punch might be required to loosen the ring...

Allright guys - thanks for the tip. I had to tap the ribs with a screwdriver and hammer to get it out. The pump I bought is wrong - I have the "L" VIN code, and none of the auto parts stores, even tried the Matrix engine crossovers, have the right pump. I have the 2zz-something version engine. I'm going to try the Toyota and GM dealerships tomorrow. If anyone can send me a link to the right part number that would be great!

You have a Vibe GT with a 6 speed. I send you some information, it should help out a lot.

OK, Turns out I have to buy a whole fuel sending ***'y - $298 from dealer. I can't find the pump anywhere online.....is this fuel sending ***'y without a working pum worth anything to anybody?Thanks for all the help guys!!!!
