Trap door?

Not sure if I put this in the correct forum but essentially I have a CEL for fuel level sensors and I need to replace my fuel pump. I've been seeing people have done this with older model Camaros and am wondering if anyone has done it with the 5th Gen or not. If so how easy was it? How do I do it? Any DIYs out there on this? I have no idea where to even begin with this. I can get my dad to help as he works on cars all the time but need some insight on where to even begin...

I don't have a DIY but I did it. Be very careful as there is not any room in the front of the tank where you have to cut. But it worked and if I need to gain access again it will be easy. There was not any way I was removing the cradle for this. I have some pictures of the cut and the door if I can find them. You can PM me and I will try to find them for you. Not very informative but may help to show the location. I do know there was a thread several years ago showing better information.

Saw this with a quick search for "fuel pump"

I sent the OP my pictures of what I did and a brief description of what to watch out for. There is very little space between the fuel tank and the body.

The above link is good as well. Wish him the best. This is one of those things that are not for the squeamish.
