I did mine in just over an hour. I took some basic measurements and cut a 10"x10" inch hole in the bed., then removed the old pump and put the new one in. When I was done I just threw the bed liner back in. I didn't even put the plate that I cut out back. After all, it's just a truck. I never had another problem with it. Being a northern truck, I didn't want to deal with the rust or the hassle of removing the bed.

@@domumpierre5022 I agree. Most of us know how enjoyable it is to remove bed bolts on a 20 year old truck. If you don't mind working on your back for a few minutes or you have access to a lift, removing the tank from underneath the truck is by far easiest. Try removing a bed that's full of stuff while on the side of a road by yourself. With basic hand tools plus a fuel line disconnect tool, it can be done by yourself in less than an hour. I'm doing one now but have the luxury of not being in a hurry so I removed the tank in my driveway in about 15 minutes and I'll finish the job tomorrow in about as much time.

At 2:40 you can see the filler neck get unbolted from the bed, and the hose clamp that was loosened is also a mounting point for the neck, once those two things are done, the neck just drops down and stays attached to the tank as the bed comes off. if you look carefully right at 5:03 you can see it still sitting there above the left rear wheel.

The bed bolts ARE NOT Torx T50. They are Torx PLUS TP50 or T50P, You MAY get by using a Torx T50, or you may totally strip your T50 tool and the bolt as well, especially if the bolts are rusted. If you do, you will have fun (ironically) getting them out. Also you should have a hose that goes from the rear end to the bed that needs to be disconnected as well. This is a vent hose for the rear end. If it is disconnected or broken and is not reconnected or replaced, it will let dirt and dust get into your rear end and cause damage,
@APDTY6 жыл бұрын
yes all excellent comments, we are tool crazy and have several sets of different torx drivers and the torx plus is slightly more square and frankly easier to use but the regular torx drivers can be used in torx plus except for higher torque needs, and yes if trying to apply a good amount of torque, then the proper tool should certainly used.

Good info. I dropped the tank on my 2000 and it was a real pain. You need tiny monkey hands to reach up in there and disconnect everything. It was very difficult to get the tool in position to release the fuel lines. I am now changing the fuel pump on my 2001. I had to cut two of the bolts (ground off the bolt heads) because one would not back out and another had the torx head stripped out. The fuel pump was $45 on Amazon and the bolts actually cost more. Still, it isn't too bad of a job once you get the bed loose. I used the loader on my tractor to move the bed. You can also use an engine hoist, call some buddies or just jack it up enough to give you some room to work.

Rubenbanana this method is just muchhhh easier , alot less work needed and what not , watch other videos of guys strugling by dropping the the tank , i’ve done multiple fuel pumps by dropping it and after watching this , never even throught about dropping the stupid tank again

Tip when ya buy a used or new truck is to remove the bed bolts then coat them thickly with anti-seize. I did my 2000 F150 in 2004, and my fuel pump just died so I am obviously quite happy I was prepared! BTW some liquid soldering flux like Rubyfluid makes soldering stranded wire much easier.

My friend wants his bed off his 99 f150 so he gave it to me because he didn't know how and i learned in high school but we're on the west coast and the bottom of the truck is covered in rust. but because he took it to the beach and drove it through the saltwater for fun (no undercoating, that was a stupid idea). so include driver-induced rusting too

I sure hope you didn't just slide the heat shrink over those soldered joints that we saw. Those were soldered really poorly and not completely at all.

Do you also clean the fuel pump with water for safety before applying heat with those tools?

Exactly. Bad soldering skills for sure.

Remember if you live in a rut a couple days before soak everything down and some kind of oil spray and then get yourself a compressor and blow all the dirt off before you take the top of that tank apart. There’s gonna be rust particles mud dirt salt you gotta get rid of all that and then while you got the bed off, make sure that you do some rust Fix stuff under you know you got the bed off you Mazel fix everything while you’re there

+domballer21 heat is usually a good helper with rusted bolts. Just make sure you don't have a gas leak.

Your bolts are frozen and probably rusted. On later models Ford applied antisieze to the bolts but it can be a problem if they didn't. An impac wrench (as shown in the video for bed removal) MIGHT break them loose. If you do get them out then apply antisieze before putting back on

An impact gun has worked for us in most occasions, Also on almost every job the bolts need to be replaced, the bolts are finally available outside of a dealership and here is links to the bolts and other items in the video: Truck Bed Bolts Set Of 8: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E...
