You are just replacing the electric pump. You need to remove the electric pump from the rest of the assembly and install a new pump. I did this when the fuel pump on my E34 crapped out on me.

I will just spend the extra bucks and get a brand new drop in unit.

Gas Fuel Pump Assembly for BMW E53 x5 00 06 3 0L 4 4L Sending Unit 16116755043 | eBay

The fuel pump is secured into the plastic frame with 4 plastic tabs and you could easily break those tabs while trying to remove it.
