Fuel Pump 2006 Acura RL replacement
Good morning fellas,
within the last couple months my car started to make this weird whistling noise from under the car...not under the hood, under the car. Couldnt figure it out for the life of me. Took it to the dealer last week and they said it is the electric motor on the fuel pump and wanted $1000 to replace it. I left and started doing some research on it and its amazing how LITTLE is on the internet about fuel pumps for this model and year.
I ended up purchasing a used one from eBay for $80 with low miles and a warranty. I will need to find someone to replace it for me or try and do it myself.
I saw some videos on other makes and models with it in the tank, but am hesitant to try it without seeing an actual video of mine or at least some instructions.
Can anyone help or provide some guidance?
Thanks!!

Just as an update.... I was able to replace this fairly easily in about 20-30 mins. One thing to note is, there was pressure in the fuel line when I popped it off and it sprayed a decent amount of gas into the car!! Took me a couple days to get the smell out. But well worth the money I saved.
Next task- Propeller shaft!!! Got a used one for $50, not sure I wanna take on that task tho. A couple places quoted me $120-150 to replace
