If you’ve ever wondered why so many Ferraris Catch on Fire, I can show you in just a few minutes. We then fix the Fuel Pumps on our 360 Spider so that it runs much better and is no longer a risk to drive. Also with the convertible top assembly removed we can finish up some final repairs before buttoning everything up.

I sold Adam Sandler a new Jaguar XJ8 back in the day. His brother is a lawyer, and looks just like him just chunkier, and said that was going to be his parents anniversary gift. True story.
You should catch some M539 videos. Done a ton of fuel pump replacements and rebuilds on BMWs that look far harder (though no drop top removal). Great tips and tricks on how to do it right. A strap wrench is a great tool, just not for that application.
Ratchet straps are a little sketchy. Heavier duty would be safer. Watch your fingers!
Being a Volvo technician for some odd 18 years I've done dozens of these style fuel pumps, the best ones to replace ate the ones in the XC90 suv (sarcasm) because you have to literally take out all the rear interior (middle row seats back) then the level sensor is on the other side and plugs into the pump. So you have to snake the harness over and usually id have to bury my arms elbow deep into the tank and of course the customer had just filled upI So of course I got to smell like gasoline all day
You know I am really tired of you auto you tubers wasting my time with your constant dead batteries. Jeez I ( we) invest our time watching your videos and almost every time there is a break in time to charge or replace battery with a used one. But a new battery please.
Manual top conversion
If possible if I where you I’d switch the top with a top that has an access port
Very surprising that the NHTSA has not taken interest in this issue. Also, why could you not simply cut an access hole exactly like the newer cars have?
Spanner wrench on the bigger hydraulic pistons to remove the locking collar
Have you thought about adding the fuel pump accesses to your convertible top assembly?
This video is great, you are explaining step by step like there are going to be people out there changing their own Ferrari 360 fuel pumps. "Pause the video, I didn't see exactly what he did." Going to say 99% of owners of these cars are going to take their car into a Ferrari dealer. Perhaps since these things are older, maybe not the dealer but at least a "Ferrari specialist." I could be wrong but I can't imagine many people out there tearing these things apart themselves.
Let's take a minute to appreciate Italian (and German) marketing. The heck with the engineering, the marketing convinced millions of people these cars are not just good cars but great cars. Almost every VW owner still thinks their vehicle is a race car because of all the years of farfegnugen or however the hell you spell it. Marketing really does work well.
Its like a petrol bomb waiting for a spark no wonder you have so many subscribers saving life's and the money pit that comes with these cars but we all still love them and you show with good maintenance and research you can try not set yourself on fire keep up the good tips and cost savings on parts
What, no stepmom on the helix
What happend to the viper ?
Do you know that if you pushed down on those fuel pump holders, it would be much easier to unscrew the big rings without using the pry bar and the hammer?
always enjoy your vids sam. i'm doing similar stuff on my jags. replaced the ''o'' rings on my rams for the hood, not sure how to do yours but i'm sure you'll find away.
