IIRC you have a 200, so not sure on removing the rear seats since they are
fold down.  Usualy the bottom comes up with just 2 pull tabs on the front of
the seat.  Ill let a b14 person talk about that tho.

Removing the fuel pump is fairly easy.  One thing to watch out for is if the
screws holding the retaining ring down are rusty.  They can be a royal PITA.
If you are lucky they all will break loose easily.  Oh yea they are phillips
head screws to beat all.  But remove the hoses first, makes life alot
easier.  Then be prepaired for some leaking fuel.  Even releaving the
pressure you will get some drainage.  I took and made a molitov coctail, yea
basicly.  Just made a "tampon" out of a blue roll of towels thing and
stuffed it up in there.  Remove the ring, unplug the thing.  Reach in and
push the tab down and pull up on the back of the pump and it comes out.
Dont remember if the b14 is a little different or not.  Its a fairly
straight forward thing to do.  Read the FSM or Haynes they both do a good
job on it, execpt how to disengage the pump from the holder in the tank.
Cause it comes out in a plastic holder that clips in a holder, atleast on
the b13.  After a few mins i finaly got it figured out and then pulled it
out.  Total time id say maybe an hour or so for the learning curve and clean
up
