How do you remove the back seat to get to the fuel pump?

The fuel pump in your 2008 Buick LaCrosse is located inside the fuel tank. Here's how you can access it:

Under the Rear Seat:

If your LaCrosse has a rear seat, you can easily access the fuel pump by removing the rear seat cushion. Look for a cover or panel under the seat. The fuel pump is usually located there.
Through the Trunk:

If your LaCrosse has an armrest in the middle of the rear seat, you'll need to go through the trunk. Remove the cover from the far back, between the back of the rear seat and the trunk space. This will give you access to the fuel pump.
Remember to disconnect the battery and follow proper safety precautions before attempting any work on the fuel pump. If you need detailed step-by-step instructions, you can refer to resources like the Buick LaCrosse repair manual or watch online tutorials.

This link should help you, it says its under the back seat but some are located under the rug in the trunk near the spare tire. Depends on your model I guess.

BMW has a unique habit, the automaker has, for years, used the rear passenger area of its cars to mount items like batteries, fuel pumps and fuel pump sender units. It makes sense in a weird way as it does keep wire runs short and makes access to the fuel pump and the sender unit more convenient than in other vehicles. The downside is that you have to disassemble the passenger seat to gain access to the fuel pump and the fuel pump sender.

To replace the fuel pump, you have to remove the rear seat starting with the child safety seat holddown covers. The child seat holddown covers simply unclip and slide away.

Next, you have to remove loosen the rear seat back so you can remove the rear seat bottom. The rear seat back slides up slightly so the seat bottom can be removed. You remove the rear seat bottom, being careful to watch the seatbelt lap attachment units, by moving it out and forward. It may take several movements to do this. Once the seat is free, swing it vertical and out of the way.

With the rear seat out of the way, you will see the fuel pump and fuel pump sender access cover panel. It is a sheet of composite material with four access holes per side. Remove any holddown clips or nuts that you find in the access cover panel, being careful to leave it in place, for the moment. Once you have removed the clips or nuts that are used to hold down the access cover panel , place them in a secure spot out of the way, such as an ashtray or one of the cargo trays to ensure you that the clips or nuts don't become victims of the repair (they are easily lost).

Now, it's time to orient yourself to the fuel pump and fuel sender sites. Looking toward the rear of the BMW, you will find the fuel pump on the left (passenger side) of the vehicle and the fuel pump sender unit on the right (driver side).

Next, find the access holes in the fuel pump cover seal plate. Insert a 10 mm ratchet socket and drive arm and remove the fuel pump cover plate access screws.

Since you have already loosened the fuel pump and fuel pump sender access cover panel, simply remove the sheet of composite material and expose the fuel pump cover seal plate. Now, remove the metal fuel pump cover seal plate.

On removing the fuel pump cover seal plate, you have access to the fuel pump assembly. Looking at the top of the fuel pump assembly, you will see the power plug and fuel line.

Next, remove the power plug from the left hand side of the fuel and loosen the fuel line clamp. After loosening the fuel line clamp, remove the fuel line and place it in a small metal container to trap any fuel that might leak out.

Next, remove the fuel pump retaining ring. There is a special tool available from BMW to handle this chore. Or, if you take a flat-bladed screwdriver and a small hammer and place the blade of the screwdriver against one of the raised nubs on the retaining ring, you can gently tap the screwdriver, exerting pressure toward the rear of the X5, to loosen the retaining ring. Once it is loosened, unscrew the ring by hand.

Now, remove the fuel pump assembly and place it on a cloth on the ground. The cloth is there to absorb any leakage.

Now, take the replacement fuel pump and insert it into fuel pump site and replace the retaining ring, spinning it tight by hand. Then, take the screwdriver and hammer again and gently tap the ring, exerting pressure toward the front of the vehicle.

Reattach the power lead and fuel line, tightening the fuel line clamp, and you are finished.

Clean up and complete the repair by replacing the fuel pump cover seal plate and fuel pump access cover panel. Reinsert any clips or nuts to hold down the fuel pump access cover panel. And, reinsert the four 10 mm nuts for the fuel pump cover seal plate through the access cover panel and torque them down.

Finish up by reversing the seat removal steps.

That's it, you have just finished removing and replacing the fuel pump.

The fuel pump is mounted inside the fuel tank. The tank will have to be pulled down to access. Some models have an assess panel under the rear seat. To see if yours does, pull the rear seat bottom out.

REMOVE THE REAR BACK SEAT BOTTOM TO GAIN ACCESS, THE SEAT IS HELD IN BY 2 BOLTS. YOU WILL NEED A 10MM OR 12MM SOCKET TO LOOSEN THE SEAT. BOLTS ARE LOCATED BETWEEN THE SPACE WHERE THE SEAT MEETS THE SEAT BACK. WHERE THE REAR SEAT BELTS COME OUT. WHEN BOLT ARE REMOVED PUT YOUR HAND BETWEEN THE SEAT AND PULL UP YOU WILL SEE WHERE THE FRONT HALF OF THE SEAT IS SECURED BY A 'L' SHAPE BRACKET LOCATED IN THE FRONT HALF OF THE REAR SEAT GOING INTO THE FLOOR BOARD.

De-pressurize the Camry's fuel system. With the gas cap open (to release pressure in that location), open the fuse/relay panel under the hood and remove the relay labeled "C/OPN." Start the engine and let it run until it stops. Disconnect the battery's negative cable.

Detach the rear seat from the car. Lift up the front edge of the seat bottom cushion, disconnect the mounting bolt underneath and remove the cushion. Pull up the seat back locks, flip the seat backs down and remove the mounting bolts.

Remove the service hole cover from the floor under the seat concealing the fuel pump/sending unit.

Disconnect the fuel line and electrical connectors from the fuel pump unit. Remove the retaining bolts and withdraw the unit carefully out of the fuel tank.

Release the clips on the fuel pump assembly's plastic support with a screwdriver to remove the support. Then pull off the rubber isolator, remove the fuel sock filter and disconnect the electrical connector from the top of the assembly. You can now withdraw the fuel pump from the housing.

Connect the new fuel pump into place on the assembly housing. Reassemble the fuel pump/sending unit in order, from the electrical connector to the fuel sock filter, rubber isolator and bottom plastic support.

Place the pump unit back within the fuel tank and reattach the bolts. Reconnect the electrical connectors and the fuel line. Reattach the rear seats.

Replace the "C/OPN" relay, reconnect the negative battery cable and fill the fuel tank if it is empty.

Pressurize the Camry's fuel system by turning the ignition on for a couple of seconds. Then turn it off for ten and repeat this five to ten times.

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank beneath the back seat which you can reach by removing the back seat.

Cheers.
