Mine is in the side of the tank facing the front of the keep...So you might be able to get away without dropping the tank but more then likely will need to drop the tank..I need to replace my tank so I am just going to buy a new tank, sending unit and pump. Assemble it then drop the tank and put the new on in..

No, you don't have to drop the tank. The fuel pump and sending unit load into the tank through the front, right above the rear axle. You may have to jack the rear of the vehicle up (not on the axle) to allow enough room to clear the axle. Cherokees have one of the easiest in-tank fuel pumps there is to change.

Sweet. I hate change fuel pumps. It looks easy. I was just under there and it looks pretty easy. I could see very well cause I didnt have a flash light but how do you remove it?

It has a locking ring with tabs you first have to flatten, then you turn the ring by striking it with a hammer and chisel until it clears the locks on the tank.

Sure thing. I will Make a write up for it. I live and work right near Chickasaw but I wasnt towing a trailer or anything. My jeep has a lift so its easy to crawl under and work.
