    Default Issue with fuel pump install...HELP!

    Hey Guys, Have a bit of a problem here and I can not firgure out what I should do next. I'm replacing the fuel pump on a 89 525. I have never missed with the fual tank since I have had the car. I remove the cover in the trunk to acces the tank...Here's the kicker...one of the studs on the tank is snapped off...ok no biggie. I go to loosen the remaining nuts to remove the cap to access the pump and 3 of the nuts just spin....i can't loosen or tighten. I tried vise grips and pulling up on the nuts hoping they would catch threads...no luck =[ You guys have any ideas???

    TIA,
    Tucker
