just reading the Bently manual and it says I need a special puller to remove the oil pump ......which I have not got the rear seal is leaking so I want to remove the pump and replace seal is there an easy(ish) way of removing it without splitting the case and causing more leaks? (1600 engine BTW) cheers
cheers mate do I have to loosen any other nuts? and should I leaver it out with a couple of screwdrivers??
Try not to lever it out with anything that will damage the pump or case as it can cause more oil leaks , if you can pull the studs out it helps sometimes
As above, you can lever, but watch you don't damage the case face (that rhymes ) . Tool not that expensive. You whip the pump gears off, stick the "horns" in the in & out holes and crank the screw. It pulls it out slowly.
cheers guys I wanted to pull it out tomorrow .....so am a bit impatient to wait for a tool.....and to spend money on something I will hopefully not use again do I have to take the gears out no matter what way I remove it? ....I assume they just pull out easily and go back in, in any orientation when replacing?
The one I pulled a few weeks ago was a bugger (but I had the tool). Might be worth loosening a few case bolts. You've obviously got to make sure the inlet and outlet holes line up when replacing (or you'll suffer a strange lack of oil pressure ). Easy enough job.
