    VZ ute fuel pump replacement

    Does anyone know if you can get to the fuel pump assembly on a VZ ute through the tray floor or do you have to drop the tank? Also the workshop guide says you basically have to pull half the car apart to drop the tank! Is this true or is there an easier way? Thanks
