Durangoman, It's not too hard to do, although it's a far sight better to do when it's warm outside instead of bitterly cold (when pumps usually fail, unfortunately). Step 1: Know that gasoline is flammable/explosive and dangerous to your health. Always read and follow warnings before picking up tools. Steps 2 through N:
I replaced the Bosch with a Pierburg a year ago in my '91 100q. I was not aware of any shimming. It just popped in and replaced the old one easily.
Run your tank low on fuel b4 replacing because you need to reach to the bottom of the tank.
The Peirburg is nice and quite. I like it.
