Title: Arrggghhh TD Fuel pump
Post by SteveO on Jun 26^th, 2012, 10:27pm

Just spent the best part of two hours trying to get the thing off without success. SO, I thought I'd see if there were instructions somewhere.......

First part of the instructions say I need special tools AAARRRGGGHHHH

Just wanted to say AAARRRGGHHHH.

Beer now!

Thanks for listening.

I pulled the pump backwards before realising there was a locking nut on the spindle. Now I can't locate the pump back in place and the lock nut turns the whole shaft. I may give up as there were no buyers for it anyway!

sounds like its come off the key in the sprocket or the key dropped out, either way id say the front cover needs to come off to get the timung marksback

The car is for scrap anyway and I'm just taking what I can for spares or sale.

Not sure how to get the bottom pulley off as the engine turns because the gearbox is out and I can't figure out how to stop it spinning when I try to release the bottom pulley nut. Same applies to the steering pump pulley.

I would have put it in gear but the box is out. There are three holes in the pulley - I don't know until I take a closer look if they will accommodate a screwdriver to try and lock it up.

Even I get the cover off, I don't have the tool to extract the fuel pump core.
