Is there any way to replace the fuel pump without dropping tank on a 96 breeze?

No, there's no practical way to replace the fuel pump on a 1996 Plymouth Breeze without dropping the fuel tank. The fuel pump is located inside the tank, and access to it is almost always only possible by removing the tank. There might be *extremely* rare exceptions involving highly specialized tools and potentially significant modifications to the vehicle, but those are not feasible for a typical DIY repair. Dropping the tank is the standard and recommended procedure.
