well thismoreing i drove my auII ute out of the padock onto the road, as i was driving off the steering was real heavy and i thought it was just mud. after about 10meters i thought nope... poped the bonnet and the belt was off. as i was putting it back on i noticed that i sheered the pully on the pump, which in turn threw the belt ect...
so after calling racv them coming picking me up, driving me to but a new power steer pump, FITTING IT for me, i drove off. (to take the old one as it wa changeover) i give it back.... as i reverse in the carpark my car looses power and stalls.. and my fuel pump dies. i call racv again and they come out say they cant do anything but will try to find a mechanic who can. ring around, cant find anyone to do it within 3 days... so they give me my free tow home. so my real question.... how hard is it to change the fuel pump, filters ect in a au falcon ute.... any tips would be great... |

Not Hard , Its inside the Fuel tank , underneath the Spare Wheel , It should be a Large Plastic Lid ontop , Unsrcew it and you will see it easily

AU UTE i pretty sure is the same as BA and to drop the tank in order to get to the fuel pump ,the diff must be undone from the leaf springs and moved back to make room for the tank to drop.
