If you can get a vice grip wrench clamped on the captive nut cage the 
tightly clamped wrench inhibits the thin sheet metal from deforming and 
increases your chances of getting the bolt off without damaging the cage.

When I had mine apart I ran a tap through the nuts before reassembly and 
used never seize on the new bolts before reassembly.  Any bolts that got 
reused also went through a die before reassembly.

I've R&Red my fuel pump a few times over the decades and I just don't 
remember it being that difficult of a job.  I wonder what I did?
