How to make a fuel pump removal tool

Post by **igel513** » 12 Aug 2010, 15:17

I just finished my tool made w/ a 1/8 x 3/4 flat bar, welded them together and put a axle nut on top
and use a power handle to turn the retaining ring on top of the fuel pump. The fuel lines and the
wire harness has to be removed first before turning. My welding is sloppy - I'm still learning but
the tool works perfect. I think I'll have this patented?????

I'll post some pics here so it would be
\easy for u to make your own in case u want to open up your fuel pump. BTW I had to grind off one
side of the flat bar so they would fit into the slot of the ring.

Nice post! Does that pump unscrew, or just have to be broken free? Making your own tools rocks! I still have the Volvo 240 Rear Trailing Arm Bushing removal tool...(homemade, but very effective!) stowed, along with the other bushing drivers I needed to go through the suspension of that (beloved) wagon...wish I still had it...it was a five speed with air...everything worked. (sniff, sniff)

Some dimensions would be nice, as I'm about to do this job.

Thanks Jerry

I made a tool out of PVC pipe, it worked great for a few turns then broke. Ended up buying one. Those plastic tabs on the pump ring can break really easy if you dont use all of them.
