The pump is under the car, near the driver's side back wheel. It's covered by a plate, look for the fuel filter it should be near. For getting the wheels off.....have you tried jacking the car up ? Just kidding. There's no special trick. Pull.

I had a problem removing the rear driver's side rim on my parts car. Took out all four bolts as usual and just pulled on it like the rest. It didn't budge. I put all my 250lbs of weight into it and it still didn't budge! I ended up using a hammer to tap it off. Had to bang on it pretty hard to get it to release. Still not sure what the hang up was?

Make sure your fuses are good. Then, you can tap the pump without removing it if it is seized. That may loosen it enough to get it working. Worked for me.
