I Need to change the fuel pump or the fuel filter on a 1985 cadillac deville. Help!?

I Dont Kno How To Do It?????I Need to change the fuel pump or the fuel filter on a 1985 cadillac deville. Help!?
the fuel pump is located on top of the gas tank tank. there are two straps that hold the tunk up. un bolt them, recomend PB Blaster. lower the tank, un cliping or disconnecting any hoses holing the tank up. electical, filler and breather hoses, to the engine and return lines. slide it out, remove the retainer ring around the pump, lift out old slide in new. repeat in reverse for install. the filter is a cylinder that is located on probably a metal line under your passenger side frame. the line is connected to the tank. just unbolt it at bothe ends and replace. id check the filter first. if it starts, then its the filter, if it wont its the pump. the filter should be replaced either way though. good luck.I Need to change the fuel pump or the fuel filter on a 1985 cadillac deville.

That old car should have a gas filter under the hood.Call dealership ask for a customer service rep they can tell you where that gas filter is exactly . If I was you not not fool around with gas tanks until you first replace the gas filter under the hood .I'm pretty sure that has an old cloth gas filter that's easy to replace and is probably what's at fault.
