#$%& TIMING!

[1991cummins]

ok, i want to bump my timing, i have tried at least ten times with everything i have in my shop full of tools... i cannot get those three stupid nuts loose... so i give up, where can i get the "s" wrench, or how about a picture of it or something...

Thanks,
Derek

is there not a bracket on the pump head as well ?

The bracket's easy to get to, the one back behind the pump requires an S-wrench.

I got a set of metric and SAE reversible Gearwrench S-wrenches from Sears for $120...

Then I spent another $100 for a set of metric and SAE Gearwrench halfmoon wrenches...

Try a swivel socket, or DPuckett got his with a crows foot and a few extensions.
I used the blue flame tool and made me a custom bent wrench.

Ditto on the link Philip posted. I have a Snap-On pump wrench and it fits like a charm.

my buddy just unbolted his power steering pump and got at the back bolt with a regular ratchet.

my buddy just unbolted his power steering pump and got at the back bolt with a regular ratchet.

But that's just way, way, way too much work.

Instead of doing that I wasted an hour or so the first time trying to put a stubby wrench on it and hit the stubby wrench from down under with a hammer and two foot punch.

I actually got it off the first time with a universal joint and a socket, but I couldn't put it back on that way without torquing off the socket.

But without a S-wrench, it's a power steering/ vacuum pump removal job.

thanks for all the help guys, i will try the torch method considering between me and my dad have at least 5 complete sets of standard wrenches and if that dont work i will just buy the one philip showed me.
