MK 1 Fuel pump removal

[soltwede@privateI.com (Night Shadow)]

I actually ground down the sides of a cheap american wrench so that I
could get inbetween those terminals with it.  Works great.  Head to your
local cheap wrech place (harbor freight, etc) and by a sacrifical wrench
:-)

And yes, the fuel accumulator is another roundish device next to the pump,
has a small flat head screw on the end, opposite the fuel lines.
