So today was the day to replace the fuel pump.
I got past what everyone said was the hard part - getting the nuts off the studs - no problem. Didn't even drop one (or both) of them.
However, now that I've got it loose, I can't get it out of there. It's like something is inside the engine grabbing it. It feels like the internal lever is catching on the case before there's enough room to get the mounting bracket off the studs completely. I was thinking about just prying it off with a crowbar, but then I thought I probably should ask someone first...
So here I am - asking someone.
