How do i replace the fuel pump in 98 dakota

I have a 98 dodge dakota sport 4cyl with 112,00 mileson it. I recently ran it out of gas and ever since it seems to have noticeably less power. I really doubt the pump needs replacing but since the only fuel filter is on the end of the pump, I need to know how to get it out. Maybe remove the bed?

running pumps down that low with no gas to cool them is a sure fire way to ruin a pump, especailly one over 100k miles. replace the fuel filter inline between the tank and the engine first, if nothing then drop the tank and you can choose to change the fuel pump filter or replace the pump.
