Feel like we pioneered some new territory here today lads 😉 If there's any medals going get us in the running !

New Fuel pump arrived and has been successfully fitted hallelujah 🙌 Absolute dream to fit.. no need for bars or skipping rope. Used the specialist tool including the bolt (part 2 &3) to move the sprocket and once moved and held in place by hand the fuel pump slid in with little reresistance...

Knight in shining armour you matey Can't thank ya enough for your help! Certainly give this a go at the weekend , Got my brother coming round so am hopeful we can ger it sorted. I'll shamefully admit I've tried alsorts out there already, had a skipping rope threaded through the entire...

Quick thought, only way round this without following my madness ...if your unlucky enough to experience this, get a grinder on the specialist tool which would give you some extra wiggle room 😉

Yeah super sujestion matey , my brother sujested the same solution but I still currently haven't located the tensioner or if its accessible ! Again fingers crossed 🤞 Update on the cause of this is the bearing failing in the fuel pump , which has caused the fuel pump shaft to sit out of line ...

Thanks again lads always appreciate it! Thankfully it's not fallen much as such and more cockled. I did use half of the specalist tool (other half simply would not fit so was left with no choice ) as a result it's caught itself on LR 12 178 part 2. There is also some movement in said...

Aye had a go earlier with no luck , ideally need a second set of hands to screw part 1 in as I manoeuvre it . Could this be the fault of the tool ? Cheap £17 for a set of 2 m47 & m57 . Still find it far too coincidental that the pump started to leak the second I did the crankshaft pulley . Will...

Aye i feared as much but I'm going to give it a shot anyway, running on hopes and dreams, Where's there's a will there's a way and all that other b*ll*cks . Still no idea why the tool wouldn't work other than the pump being bent itself? This fuel pump leak started immediately after I completed...

Update for anyone following After failing to fit the LR tool part 2 . Removed LR tool part 1 And tried to insert & screw part 2 in Succes .. part 2 does screw in without part 1. Now I'm assuming this is because my pump shaft is actually bent / misaligned ( a result of trying to undo my...

Cheers buddy , not my issue though. Repeatedly tried loosening part 1 of the tool. Makes 0 difference .

The nut wasn't loose but it certainly ain't tight either . Cracked using a short 3/8ths wrist tight.

What do we reckon 🤔 Is that the thread that's bent in there ?

Frighteningly the second tool does seem to catch on a thread but then looses it's grip. #worried nahh

Well my update is that I took the 17mm Allen key blanking plate off this morning. Couldn't find my crankshaft tool so locked the crank up with a breaker bar. Popped off the 17 mm Allen key plate And then removed the 21mm nut inside . Wonderful no problems , going to be easy after all I...

Your a star fella 🫡 Will have a cracking tomorrow morning

I have got a crankshaft pulley locking tool do we all think this would be as safe as locking the flywheel up ? Thanks

Thanks matey , Too late on the starter motor though aha already spent hours gerrin it off . Anyway gave me more room I suppose. I do actually have a locking tool for the bottom crankshaft pulley ( recently replaced crankshaft pulley also 😢) Would this work instead of piddling around with ma...

Thanks guys I do have the specialist tools LRT 12-178 ect. I wanted to lock the flywheel as apparently other peoples engine are turning over when trying to remove the nut to fit the specialist tool. And I imagine the engine will turn over when trying to tighten the same nut (behind the Allen...

Thsnkyou kindly sir
