Mercruiser 5.7L TBI Fuel pump replacement (Cool fuel)

[MadMat]

Hey guys,
I'm rebuilding my 1997 merc 5.7 EFI. I'd like to replace the fuel pump as a matter of course. I have the new fuel pump in hand (It matches the pump on the engine), and I noticed no thread on the output end of the pump. Would some kind person please enlighten me as to the correct method of removal and installation

Hi there, welcome to iboats!

The smaller end without the threads closest to the power wires is installed by sliding in (or out) the 90 degree fitting item number 4 in your diagram. The fitting has 4 small O-rings... 2 rings on each end and again they just slide in/out of the fuel pump end and the cooler tube above (#8).

Hope you paid less that $120 USD for it. Just did a replacement. easy job replacing the parts, tougher job just getting to it. Had to remove the exaust manifold and riser to see it down there.
