As a mobile mechanic, I need an easier way to access the fuel pump on a 2013 Chevy Equinox without dropping the driveshaft, exhaust, and a nearly full gas tank.

There is no vehicle-specific repair database that provides alternative access points (like through the interior) for fuel pump replacement, forcing mechanics to follow the full, time-consuming procedure of dropping the tank.
