How do you change the fuel pump on a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. What tools are needed?

i have a 2000 Malibu. i have an inside the fuel tank pump, i don't know what u have, i would assume the same. if u have the same as mine, you have alot of work ahead of you. first, u need to use up almost all of your fuel, because you will have to take fuel tank down. 2 metal straps hold it up, u will need sockets and / or wrenches. you will have to disconnect a couple of fuel lines and a vent line, they are on top of tank, that's why you have to let it down. a cap on top u will have to unsrew it, then pull out pump, u may have to giggle back in forth to get it out. i bought a kit from auto zone and just replaced a couple of parts. you will need a floor jack to help you support the tank, its nice to have some help but u can do it alone. it can take several hours. hope this helps
