If I "see" these correctly; the center pin is pryed-out and then the larger piece will then pry-out. If you are careful you can reuse these or if you get new ones, just use some large wire diagonal cutters and cut them off.

Most parts store carry these, also body shops will have them.

 

I think you might be correct.
I didn't consider the center coming out. They're so dirty, it looks like all one piece.
That's why I post here. I would have ripped them to pieces try to get them to release.
Thx,
Mark

 

I'd be surprised if the new pump fixed your problem. Please report back on this one.

 

Lanny, You were correct about those connectors. They popped right out after pulling the center out. The center has a edge the can be pried up with a screw driver or diagonal cutters. I have attached a photo of the connectors for other on the BB.

 

Mickey I hope you are wrong. I've had the truck since new (14 yrs). The pump is original equipment so replacing it now or in two years doesn't make a difference to me especially if it last another 14 yrs.


Since I hate it when people don't post results or how the resolved problems I will definitely be back to let everyone know how it goes.

 

I am not the original owner of my '02, but suspect that it too has the original fuel pump in it and at 12 yrs I am expecting it to go out just any ole time.

Have been thinking about getting just a replacement fuel pump, not the entire assembly;

myZR2blazer....are you getting just a fuel pump or the entire assembly?

 

What's the part number on that fuel pump?

Please let us know if that fixes the problem. Good luck.

 

I hope I'm wrong too especially now that it's getting changed. I just like to know for sure before I get in that deep on a project. I have a thread of my own like this that I just fixed and I originally thought it was a fuel pump. "burned" helped me out on this so follow his advice if he chimes in. You need to do those fuel pressure & lead down tests. That's the key in getting a clearer picture on the fuel pump.

Please let us know, there are so many posts out there on this topic that are not closed off and it is very frustrating to try and solve this problem on these Blazers. Good luck.

 

Mickey I am installing a full replacement. I got a really good deal from a place out of Miami.
It was a non retail version, without pretty box to sit on a store shelf.

"NEW ORIGINAL AC DELCO FUEL PUMP MU113 - 2 DOOR MODEL"
That will get you a model for the 2 door, use a different search for other models of trucks.

 

For my future reference, what is the secret to removing the filler neck hoses from the tank? After 14 years of being clamped, both the main hose and the vent hose felt like they were glued on. I had to cut them off and even that wasn't easy.
