Hi
Hope that somebody can help me out. About replacing the electric fuel pump on my V70 2000 (1st gen). Want to replace the loose pump and not complete assy. Therefore I need to move the strainer over to the new pump (Bosch 0580454168) but I cant get it loose. There's a plastic pin on the bottom of the pump keeping the strainer in position. Onto the pin is a metal clip locking the strainer in place. Does anyone know how to get the strainer off the pin or how to first remove the clip? I 've tried to pry with a screw driver as much as I dare without breaking the plastic but it doesnt give in. I have attached a photo, see the red arrow showing the clip.

Checked all forum threads I could find without finding anything useful on this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help.
