Things You'll Need:

- Socket wrench set
- Tool 07AAA-S0XA100

Step 1
Determine which fuel pump your Honda Accord will need. This depends not only on the make and model, but also the engine size. Models made from 1976 to 1985 have a 1.6L or 1.8L engine and 1986 to 1989 models have a 2.0L engine. Models built from 1990 to 1993 are equipped with a 2.2L engine. Models made from 1994 to 1997 have a 2.2L or a 2.7L engine.
-
Step 2
Look at more recent generations of the Honda Accord. Models manufactured from 1998 to 2002 have 2.3L or 3.0L engines and models made from 2003 to 2007 will have a 2.4L or 3.0L engine. The eighth generation of the Honda Accord debuted in 2008 and is available with 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.4L and 2.2L turbo diesel engines.

Step 3
Prepare your vehicle for fuel pump servicing. Relieve the fuel system pressure and disconnect the negative battery cable with a socket wrench. Remove the spare tire cover (if present) and trunk floor so that you can open the access panel and disconnect the electrical connection from the fuel pump.
-
Step 4
Remove the fuel pump's electrical connector and disconnect the quick connect fitting from the fuel pump. Remove the fuel tank locknut using tool 07AAA-S0XA100 or the fuel tank retaining bolts with a socket wrench, depending on the year and engine. Remove the fuel tank.
-
Step 5
Install the new fuel pump using the items included in the kit and be sure to replace the gasket and O-rings. Align the arrows on the fuel tank and pump.
-
Step 6
Complete the installation by reversing the removal procedure.
