Member Contributer mello dude Posted November 19, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2017 Clip any zip ties on the long hose going to the rear on the pump .. typically it has one or two clipped to the harness.... Also next step is to get the frickn connector loose from the pump to the harness. On the 5th gen, its on the left front side... Its a royal sumbitch to get apart!!
