There is a good description of how to replace the in-tank fuel pump here but if you’ve already removed yours that’s the worst part done.

It is best not to try to bench test them. They are not designed to run without being submerged in fuel.

When buying a replacement be sure to get the low powered lift pump rather than the later high powered single in-tank pump unless you propose to convert to a single pump setup.
