can you hit me on any of the chat clients listed in my profile? you're making this much harder then it is!
i dont see how you could break your fuel pump by removing the tank.. the pump is inside the tank.. just undo the vacuum lines & the main bolt that hooks the main gas line.. this is when you will get gas flowing out & possibly make a mess.. use your thumb to cover it as soon as you can get the bolt off...
feel free to hit me on a chat client.

^Basically what he said, there are about 6 or 8 8mm bolts that holds the pump to the tank, just unscrew all of them and it will come out easily.
