I agree. Replaced the fuel pump on my '02 Silverado 2 wks ago. The bolts on the bed weren't too bad but neighbor and I struggled to get it over the bumper to slide it back the foot or so I needed to get to the tank. Figured I'd just drop the bumper. How hard could that be? Well, 45 minutes later, it was off. Just a matter of getting sockets and wrenches into the cramped spaces and turning them little bit at a time. I've got a 3/8" air ratchet but it just doesn't have the guts for the bigger bolts.
With the bumper off, it was a piece of cake to slide it back and a lot easier to work on the tank. The retaining ring on the pump was pretty rusted but got it off. Used the new gasket that came with the pump and struggled for almost an hour to get that ring back on. Finally gave up and used the old gasket. So replacing the pump itself was a 15 minute job (had to splice in the right connector on the harness but it came with the pump) but over 4 hrs total messing with the bed/bumper. But on a pickup with a full tank of gas, I'd pull the bed any day rather than drop the tank.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
