I don't know about the 2003 or the 2005. But my 2004 Sorento has access to the fuel pump through the floor under the rear seat. A little piece of carpet with velcro and screwed down patch. Shouldn't be that tough of a job if you don't have to drop the tank.

From what I understand the pump&filter are one unit. So there is no changing just the filter. Correct me if wrong.

don't know about that. The point I was trying to make was that since you don't have to drop the fuel tank. Even if the pump and filter are one unit it shouldn't be that tough of a job standing up working through the rear door. In fact I'd hope the filter was part of the fuel pump.
I personally hate changing the fuel filter in my taurus. Thats under the car even with jack stands it still sucks.
From the diagrams that I have it appears that the filter is part of the fuel pump, but can be removed separate. The fuel filter should be replaced every year, I would hate to pay 200 some dollars to replace the pump every year. Has anyone replaced the filter yet? Thinking about doing it myself this summer.
