FIP Strip with lots of pictures

firstly I must say sorry for the colour of the internals of this pump, this has been run on Bio, SVO and Black diesel and is covered in gumming, no doubt the reason this pump died, however it did manage 150k miles so it's not all doom and gloom



First you need to tackle the Bosch security bolts (if you can't crack this don't both going any further) the top bolt hammer on a 7mm socket and the smaller bolt can be tapped round with a small flat punch (or screwdriver) and a hammer, then removed with needle nose pliers without damaging the head.



Then remove the other Torx bolts

Remove the middle section, making working on it much easier



Now undo all the red screw, and the Blue ones (they are left hand thread)


you will also need to unpick the electrical connectors (purple) I used heat and a flat head screwdriver

bend back the 2 wires highlighted in green

Once you have unpicked the eleccy parts you will be able to remove the black connector

with the top removed you have access to the coil, using a deep 7mm socket to remove the studs will release everything



remove the springs line up the shaft and you will be able to remove the coil

Anybody can strip a pump down it's putting it back together and setting it up so that it works where the trick comes in. Have you seen an injection pump test and set up rig?

His next project is a stripping a Trent 1000 followed by the Hardron collider.

Hadron Collider is just a giant magnet! just take yer Prince Albert out before you get too close!

Yep but a bloody complicated giant magnet. Point is stripping something is really easy, it's putting it back together and getting it to work, that is the bitch.

not worried really, stripping without breaking something is the hardest part.

the rebuild should be simple enough once everything is cleaned up

Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal

Really? I took a watch apart once without breaking anything. Unless you count the fact that I broke the watch by taking it apart!

Personally, I couldn't be bothered, too time consuming and set up may prove impossible.
I'll send mine off to Diesel Bob or Bosch for overhaul when the time comes as I have a spare.

There speaks a sensible bloke.

I'm sure Johnny marked everything up on all sides before starting.

Resoldering those little copper strips / wires (I think you coloured them purple?) can be tricky.
