Difficulty of exchanging a lift pump?

I have some mechanical knowledge on gassers, but none on diesils. Would I be able to change a lift pump? any special tools? Where exactley is it on a '95? do I need to do any prep work (ie. new seals, drain it)? Also, if I replace the lift pump, and the injector pump is bad, will it hurt anything? thanks for your time. cwbronc

on the 12v the pump is mechanical not electrical it is located above the starter and below the fuel filter. It looks kinda like a mechanical fuel pump. Do you have reason to replace it . The best place to buy your motor parts is from cummins

The lift pump on the 95 while not infallible, is not prone to the failure problems of the newer electric pumps. That doesn't mean it can't fail but don't think of it in the same terms as you see in failure rate with the newer trucks.
