Bass man! Welcome back.


81's are easy because it's one wire and two bolts and two fuel feeds.
You'll need to get the sound absorption box (padding off of it, if it's
still there, without tearing it up.

Be ready with a catch basin for the fuel i the lines, I doubt you drain
the tank out but be sure to tuck the line(s) up a ways while the pump is
out.

It's just a matter of getting up under there and replacing it. You might
want to jack stand it & yank the wheel for more clearance.
