Do I have to lock up the new pump with the pin before I install it?
So I lock the old pump through the bolt in the side correct? Same as the new pump once I fit new pump take pin out of side of pump and put bolt back?
It's been around 16 yrs since I had to lock and remove a 2.5nad pump and I only did it once then, I cannot remember how it was done- sorry.
Np I’m surprised no one has commented on the procedure on how to swap them
pump shaft has a key way so you dont have to lock the pump, you undo the nut secure the pump pulley then fit the holding tool and then undo pump nuts,pipes etc then wind pump from pulley
Do I have to lock the new pump before installing it? Also do I have to pin my flywheel first?
pump shaft has a key so just line the key up,you dont need to pin the flywheel timing will stay as is as long as pump pulley is secured properly,but its good practice to set as you would if doing a cam belt change as once pump is fitted it will worth checking pump timing is sopt on using the pump timing tool through the side of pump and n=moving pump on its slots if needed
So I’m going to attempt his in my driveway I have the lock up tool. I set the pulpy lock tool first then remove the old pump without pining it. Put the new pump in without pinning that also torq new pump remove the locking tool put not back on the end of pulley to pump and done?
you wont be able to remove the pump pulley nut or refit it with holding tool in place,which tool have you got for holding the pump pulley
That one
Did I upload the pic the right way?
i think youll find that kit has all the pins but no pump pulley holding tool the holding tool it does have is for the tdis
What do I have to do now? I waited over a week for this kit.
So there is no way I can try and cut the hole in the locking tool bigger to be able to take the pump nut off? I’m in the USA and there is nobody that knows about these to help me or that I can pay to do it. I didn’t want to take the front off and mess with the belt or timing in my driveway lol. This hasn’t ran for 3 weeks I special ordered that tool and picked up a used pump online
its not the nut that has to be removed first in any case, the tool is too large to fit in 2.5 na circular inspection hole
