    What pose(s)/position(s) did you take to replace your fuel pumps?

    Naturally, I'd lean over the fender and look down, then its obviously not enough so I climb over to the top of the engine and put my full weight on the 2x intake boxes and the red intake manifold. sometimes I squat on the white aluminium frame that support the gearbox.

    I noticed that its easy to damage something in the 2nd and 3rd position I took.

    What's the correct position of doing it?

    I used the "upward leopard" position by leaning of the rear bumper and rearmost quarter panel when I replaced the passenger pump.

    I might hang from the ceiling in spider pose when I do the drivers side in the future.

    Exactly!

    I re-use my harness that I used for hacking the Def-con and NOC list systems. :)

    i replaced my RH fuel pump and almost broke my neck, i got dizziness when walking upright and nauseated when in bed.

    i should have paid somebody to do that !!!

    that's the most unwanted job i want to do on my 360!!

    I did my r/h pump over the rear fender. Wasn't that bad, but I'm tall and bendy. Valve cover gaskets don't look as easy.
