You have to undo the four 8 mm nuts and remove the sender from the pump assembly then and only then will you be able to remove the pump assembly.

I have guaranteed good used ones available :)

Pump is the same. If he's being trying to force it out, then he will need a replacement level sensor as well as the pump.

The level sender for the LH side of the tank. The 62 litre tank is much more sophisticated than the 55 litre one, not just 7 litres bigger.
