So, let's unwind this a little.

1. You had blown fuse. Replaced it, and the relay. New fuse remains good.

2. ???

3. Profit?

But seriously, is the pump running? If it is not running, is it at least getting power onto its wiring when it is supposed to? What tests have you done? Listen for pump? Multimeter on the power wire? Fuel pressure gauge?

If we presume that it is not running, having failed any or all of the above tests, that would explain why you're trying to pull it out, yeah? So at what point in the process of pulling it out are you having trouble? Have you unscrewed the clamp ring? IS the plastic hat just stuck on its seat/o-ring?

Cant get fuel pump or float mechanism to release. need help pse.

Can you expand on this? If the fuse blew then there is a fault that needs further troubleshooting. A relay is highly unlikely to blow the fuse.

And you don't want your float mechanism....it has f#ck all to do with any issue you have.

If you are trying to get your fuel pump out I suggest you have a look in the tutorial section of the forum....quite a few good people have contributed threads on this sort of topic.

 

Here's one:

Just check if your pump is working, i had the same problem, easiest way to check is find your fuel filter follow it to your engine, disconnect thr hose, get some rags around, and try to start your car, if fuel piss out then you know your pump is working, if nothing comes out then you know its your pump

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
