The pump is an electric unit mounted inside the fuel tank together with the sending unit for the fuel gauge. You have to drop the tank to remove it.
Try to get most of the fuel out of the tank before dropping down the tank. Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine over a few times to empty the gas lines. Use a tranny jack to support the tank and unbolt the two straps that hold it in place. Once you lower the tank a little bit you should have access to the place on top where the lines connect. Be careful disconnecting lines - if you break any of the little tubes they go onto you might have to replace the whole sending unit. Follow the pump wires away from the tank to find the electrical connector - it's about a foot away.
Once the lines and the electrical connector are disconnected you can drop the tank all the way and take it out from under the truck. To remove the sending unit you need to turn the lock ring so that the ring tabs align with slots in the collar and the ring pops out. It's just like a can lid - lefty-loosey. Be prepared for a bunch of rust there and have penetrating oil ready. There are special wrenches for this ring, but you can make do with a punch or flat blade screwdriver and a hammer.
When the ring is off you can pull out the unit. The fuel pump is attached with a small bit of hose. Be careful not to bend the ring at the bottom too much - it's flimsy.

Where is the fuel regulator located on a 1999 dodge caravan?
It is part of the fuel pump module in the tank.
What can you do if the fuel pump on your 1999 Tahoe has no power?
Check the fuse and the relay. If it's the fuse, and the next fuse blows out immediately, be suspicious of the fuel pump.
What would cause a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera to spit and sputter lights dim seems like it is not getting fuel but has plenty of gas?

Its obviously not getting fuel to the throttle body, this is most likely the fuel pump, but you should start by replaceing the fuel filter becase of the low cost.
Where is the fuel pump on a 1999 Suburban?
They put them in the fuel tank now days! To get at it you need to remove the tank and you get the pump from the top. NO there is no other way then removing the tank. The pump is $90 at most stores. No, you do not need the sending unit also. Buy the strainer also or they do not warranty the unit. Yes, I think an access hole makes sense also!
