Moonshadow you were right, pulled everything out of trunk and found access panel and fuel pump even though I did not have fold down seat. Job went pretty quick and now can check level!!!! thanks, took about 1/2 hour to 45 min. to change, just did everything from the trunk side!!!!! thanks again!!!!

really simple to replace, first try to get a whole pump off ebay complete or try to buy one locally, hopefully you don't get ripped off. Make sure before the next step, have a low gas in your tank. A full tank with fumes will give you a headache. Next remove everything from your trunk and you will see a round lid after removing the carpet. tap the round door clockwise to free and disconnect the cables to the pump. Reinstall the cables on the new pump and try not to tear gasket. Make sure door is tight and whala! took me about 45 min to change out. Had to climb into trunk on my 2001 intrigue. email me if any questions.

Like he said, but let me be a nit picker .
 
1.Fuel is explosive or rather the vapours are, don't you know and since you'll be in the trunk, you only get one chance.
 
2.When ever you play around with fuel anything you must disconnect the battery and be careful not to bang or drop steel tools around fumes. It only takes one spark, so don't end up on the nightly news.
 
3.The lines may well be pressurized when you disconnect the lines. If you do not know the bleed down procedure then go slowly and have lots of rags handy and get them out of the trunk.
 
4. DO NOT use an incandescent light. They get hot and if broken then so will you be. Try using a flood light from outside.
 
5.When you remove the snap ring, i think it has a snap ring, either way, the pump assembly is spring loaded and may pop up a few inches so be prepared for that.
 
6. Be aware, if you feel light headed then stop and get air or better still use a respirator.
 
7. Did I mention that fuel is explosive or rather the vapours are, don't you know and since you'll be in the trunk, you only get one chance.
 
If we don't here back then you probably made a mistake
 
be careful
