#%^ That @$^& (#^ Third Injection $%^*$@% Pump Nut ##$^#

That third injection pump nut, the one located between the injection pump case, power steering pump and engine block?

Is there a way to tighten that thing beyond selling your soul to Satan? Because I've already sold my soul, so I'm out of ideas.

A 1/4 inch drive socket and UJ, with two feet of extensions and a ratchet from the bottom worked to get it off... But tightening on the nut that way just torques off the UJ.

And anybody know where I left that damn injection-pump support-bracket bolt?

Man you are too funny your post are ALWAYS so dramatic! The best way to get aty that nut is with an s-bend wrench. Why do you think you always here about the harbour frieght S bend wrenches? Before you take your shot gun too it you can also just heat up a wrench and bend it, thats all I did.
Hope this helps.....you sleep at night

p.s. Maybe Satan will make a different trade with ya?

I love my Snap-on sp144 wrench . And surely you have an extra metric bolt laying around for the pump bracket... or can find one to steal from somewhere else on the engine lol

I stole one from the bracket that holds the oil dipstick to the manifold

Guys have found these at Harbor Freight?

[wannadiesel]

No, Harbor Freight USED to sell a set of "S" wrenches that worked, but they have discontinued them. You're going to have to bend one yourself or break out your wallet.

I modified the 13mm S wrench from harbor frieght so I could get the back nut, little bend here, little grind there.

A 3/8 drive crows foot on an extension will work. I've done it that way many times. My best time was like 40 minutes to get the pump off from the time I pulled in the garage till it was in the box, of course all the bolts and nuts have to cooperate with you to do that.

...little bend here, little grind there.

yep, just about a 5deg bend on the 13mm end so it'll clear the PS bolt under it and works perfect - almost too easy.

Just gotta be smarter than what you are working on!

Wasn't much help, was I?

bringin a dead thread back...my pump was EASY to take off, whoever put the pump on last time simply left that nut out!! It still ran...

so I guess I'll be sacrificing yet another craftsman wrench to the 'special tools' drawer after the torch and I motivate it into shape.

[TWorline]

I went Autozone and bought a $3.00 wrench to make mine with.

[RumbleFish]

I prefer to buy the $30 snap on wrench, and then sell the truck before using it. I looked for a place to use it on my gasser, but have come up with nothing so far...
