It is a pain, but dropping the tank seems so much more work, especially when full.
It's such a common problem and you really spelled it out.
How does it feel to spend almost as much time, posting this, as to doing the actual job?
Thx for the effort.
Thanks, I just couldn't find a writeup when I needed it, so I figured I'd save some grief for another poor ba5tard that had to deal with this crap.
I got the fuel pump for $25 USD off ebay from this seller:

But I used my existing, good condition clean screen.
Just be careful with the little metal clip holding it on by a single plastic pin.
It wasn't really that difficult doing the writeup itself, as much as figuring out how to replace the intank fuel pump itself. That took almost a month.
I tried looking for ways to create an access hatch, but being double
walled, plus the fact that where you would need to cut a hole, the floor
bevels down 45 degrees right where the rear seat is, so I'm glad I didn't
even consider that option, I would have been in one hell of a mess trying
to seal that up properly.
