Replacing failed fuel lift pump while offshore - Lehman 120

[@adamropp8832]

How did you pull it off? The studs are just long enough to prevent removal due to that arm on the back. I’m at anchor now, and have a spare.

It's been a bit too long and forget the details. But, I recall I had to grind down a wrench to slip it onto the stud nuts. Good luck.

Turn the engine over slightly and see if that helps putting it in a better position to pull it off

The wrench you need is known as a ( hydraulic style ) wrench

Why why why do people use thread-tape on diesel fittings. The number of D-series Ford injector pumps and liftpumps I see every month with the thread tape right up inside them is crazy. Plumbers or gas fitters Thread-tape has no place being anywhere diesel. Yes it can help stop leaks but it softens and dissolves with the diesel.

Thank you for the heads up.

Never use a Fram oil filter nappa gold

Useless. You don’t show the viewer how you got the new one back in. Trying to line up the cam without luck here.
