*50 fuel pump problem
Got one off just sliding by hand, tried 90 degree needle nose, but didn't want to use the plastic top of the pump assembly as a lever point. Felt like I was going to break it.
Don't think it's ever been done, so it's 12 years old. Didn't get the whole drop in I was trying to save the sleeve.
One cam off with moderate effort...
The other one, not so good. Tried prying, wiggling, angle needle nose etc..

Fuel pump problem resolved - 850 connector stuck
Hey Tech,
Just wanted to check back in. It rained for 10 days straight so I finally got back to the pump yesterday. I lifted up the rubber boot on the top of the connector with a small flat blade screwdriver and gave it a touch of wd-40, careful not to soak it since I would still need to pull the outer sleeve up, using the straw on the can etc. Worked it lightly, turned it a few times, let it sit for 5 minutes and repeated that process 4-5 times. Then it came off with slightly more than the moderate effort that the return side needed. Wasn't very confident about wd-40 on plastic at first until I convinced myself if the plastic was rated for fuel its should be okay with a light shot of wd-40.
Any thoughts?
Pump is in the car and running well, thanks for your help.

I have a issue with the pump, got a replacemnt, bosch, 0 580 314 067, the connector is not the same, put wires in the same way they came off the volvo pump assembled but, not pumping, checked by leaving lines off at the top of the pump while in the tank, someone said the wires could be reversed and it is not turning in right direction, is that true??? I'm trying now to see if that works, but, of course the connectors are not coming off now, will check back soon
