If my company decides to buy the VW insert, I will definitely photograph and post the whole procedure. in the meantime, for anyone wanting to use the VW part, the removal is simple. take the front half of the inner fender down that's held up with several 8mm screws and push clips. the tank is then visible and fully accessible. remove the tank by disconnecting all of the lines at the quick connects (4 lines) and unplug the bulk connectors on the side of the tank nearest the engine (4 plugs) The tank is then only held in by two 10mm bolts up top and two 13mm bolts on the side nearest the engine and one grommet fitting on the bottom. once the tank is out, take out the three 4mm allen head bolts on top of the tank that hold the pump down. the insert is held in by a plastic ring that simply twists off. now pry the insert out lightly with a flat blade screwdriver and lift it about 2-3 inches up as this is all you will be allowed due to the inside connections limiting the free play. IMPORTANT... do not pull on the inside "cup" you have to insert your hand into the tank and turn the inside cup about 1/8th of a turn counter clockwise to release the cup and then the whole insert comes out and is ready for replacement.
