Default Fuel Pump replacement

Ok, I've got a bad fuel pump in my 91 XJ sport. I know that you need to remove the gas tank but other then that I'm at a loss. Does anyone have a list of what I'll need and step by step guide that I can use to replace this instead of spending 400 bucks to get it done at a shop. I know its a tall order but i'd really appreciate the help. Thanks.

I dont think you need to remove the tank. The pump is located on the FRONT of the tank.

Here is an AWESOME page I just found with pictures!

There are a couple different ways. you can cut a hole in your "trunk area" above the fuel tank and do it that way.

If you have a METAL gas tank it will work. Plastic tanks are completely different. Sorry.
