Ok then i won't tell you! :rofl:. There is 2 ways. One is take the tank out or ther other way. The other way make sure you have no fuel in the tank, jack up the rear of the car, place jack stands to make it safe. Now when the car is safe in the air get a flat blade screw driver and a hammer and and tap the fuel outlet(or fuel pump, its in the same spot) either clock wise or anti clock wise. Only need to tap it a few times and you should be able to get the intank pump off.

You only need to go so far and it should pop out. What sort of fuel tank is it first, a VB-VK type?.

V8 VK's have the internal fuel pump similar to the EFI's.My Calais runs both, the fuel tank 1 & the engine mounted type.

Well how many wires are on the fuel tank on the fuel outlet?. If its just one well its NOT an electric pump. If there is more than one wire there could be an intank fuel pump. Usually the fuel pump is on the block, at the front on the drivers side, just below the alternator.

Nope VK V8s never got the internal pump, I know HDT was playing around with a few in the VK series, wasn't untill the HDT VL V8s got the internal pump, Holden still used the old mechanical pump on the block.
