"Can the pump be replaced without taking the hoses off/apart? Maybe just raise the unit a bit and change it out" That's not possible--the unit can't be lifted very far with the hoses attached--and even if you could lift it, the little fiddly bits that have to get disassembled to change the pump would be uncomfortable to deaL with in tight quarters. As to the question of the hard return line--splcing (5/16 or 8mm fuel hose) will work and makes wiggling the unit out of the trunk floor a little easier--but if the undercarriage connection will come loose it makes for a neater job. Be sure to use a fresh piece of hose from the pump to the unit. -- Dave
