Porsche 986 Boxster 996 Carrera Fuel Pump Removal

Have you ever wondered what a Fuel Pump in a Porsche 986 Boxster or Porsche 996 Carrera looks like, or even to know where its located and how to remove it?  Ok the fuel pump is located in the gas tank, you might say duhhhh who doesn't know that? Well some don't ahah.  But how to get to it? You will need to remove the battery plastic covers, remove the battery and remove the battery tray, you will find the gas tank cover underneath the battery tray, start by removing the 3 fuel lines by simply clicking the push buttons to unlock the hoses , remove the electrical connector, at this point you will have to unlock the big lock ring, normally Porsche has a special tool for that, who will have that unless that its a Porsche Dealer... Simply grab a long screwdriver,you will notice a bunch of notches , push the screwdriver against a notch and hit it carefully with a hammer, repeat until its loose enough to unscrew it by hand. You may want to wrap the head of the screwdriver with some electrical tape not to damage the ring.  Once the ring is off, pull off the fuel gauge assembly, remove the electrical connector and disconnect fuel line, pull out the gauge assembly, now you will see the fuel pump at the bottom of the tank... now before I forget it would be a good thing to wear nice set of plastic gloves that cover your forearms as well and that are fuel resistant, grab the fuel pump at the bottom and turn counter-clockwise approx 15 degrees to unlock it and pull it out. See pictures below to see how the fuel pump looks like.
