Lift up the floor panel n it's right there. No lying on the floor and no lifting the heavy tub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced a fuel pump recently and do you think there was a hole in the floor? No, I had to drop the tank. Ironically there was a hole in the floor for the sender but not the pump.

What they said I cut the LH side of that floor panel off and ditched it, replaced with a staino sheet I drilled and screwed to the cross members, now have easy access. Tub liner out in 5min (plenty practice). Thinking I should cut a rectangular hole in the liner and fit a low profile tool box over the top for ultimate access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just drill out all the spot welds.I fitted nutserts all around the tub frame under the sheet so its a quick job for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
