Hey guys I got two things that im working this weekend that i could use some info. First I am trying to drop the tank and im not sure how to remove the pump any write ups no luck finding it.

Next my rear doors are not opening well, they open from the inside but it take alot to get them open from outside and one doesnt really open up at all. I tried WD and degreaser neither worked, any sugestions there?

You dont have to pull the tank on a 95 to change the pump.
One the doors keep spraying with wd or PB blaster. Then work the door back and forth 100s of times. Once it starts working lube with motor oil or ATF which is a lubricant instead of a penatrant.

as maypop said, you don't have to drop the tank - the pump is on the front mounted and an angle/horizontal. There is a locking ring you have to get off that's a PITA.

As far as the door, one of mine does the same thing. I just open it from the inside if I need it open.

I've used White Lithium grease for years on doors. Clean it up and lube it. If that don't fix it theres an adjustment for the button. Open the door and right below the notch for the latch theres an oval shaped plug sitting at a 45degree angle. Behind the plug is a Allen head screw, loosen it and with the Allen wrench still inserted it slides left or right to adjust.
