Had to change the fuel pump in my wife's daily so thought I'd toss together a quick DIY video to help anyone else getting ready to tackle this job.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Great video.. it's getting the Outstanding Technical Contribution tag! A few thoughts (it's always easier to have these thoughts sitting on my butt facing a computer screen than it is while working on the car..) The sharp-edged sheet metal - boy do I know about that - a 1985 Isuzu Trooper I owned, every sheet metal edge on it was razor sharp. That's when I learned how good mechanic's gloves are, and where you can't wear the gloves - putting blue painter's tape on the edges of the sheet metal reduced the possibility of hacking up my hands. Just in case anyone else has this to tackle. The spring-loaded "foot" sort of thing is probably just to support the fuel gauge housing from underneath, making it a bit more stable when approaching 1G turning forces and hitting a bump. It probably came apart as you were removing the fuel gauge housing. The tie-wrap is a good idea as long as the foot could still move up/down. I'll have to look, I suspect given the crossover of parts between a 997 and a 987 - that the pump and procedure to replace it is the same. Let me look on AllDataDIY.. That looks rather familiar eh? I'll add a link for this in the 987 DIY forum. Thanks much for taking the time to do the video, and having someone competant holding the camera... it's a great DIY video! BTW - this post inspired me to create a 911 Tech/DIY forum, and this is the first entry there, hopefully there will be many more!
