Fuel lift pump removal / renewal

It's quite an easy job to do, so here's how Ah did mine.....

The pump on the engine..

Stuck a 17mm spanner on the bit where the 'in' pipe goes just so's ah didn't do any damage tae the pump....

then usin' a 13mm spanner ah cracked the 'in' pipe and removed it from the pump.....

Next thing ah did was to remove the pipe from the filter housin' (only because the last time ah did it the pipe got jammed and twisted when takin' it off the pump!) usin' a 19mm spanner..

... then removed the 'out pipe from the pump same way as ah did the 'in' pipe.

Usin' a 1/4" drive ratchet, extention bar and a bit holder with an Allen bit ah took of the first Allen bolt on the side of the pump...

Then ah cleaned the area where the pump fits back onto and bolted the pump back in place makin' sure the arm goes over the cam...

Then ah undid the bleed screw on top of the filter housin' and hand pumped the fuel through until it came out of the bleed screw and retightened it...
