Hi everyone
Does anyone know were to buy the special tool for removing the in tank fuel pump on the Freelander Td4?
Also many thanks to Arctic2 for his help and advise
 
If you are talking about the locking collar? Then it's a BMW tool. A hammer and old screwdriver works too;)
 
Thanks everyone for your advise I will find something suitable in my toolbox and give it a whirl

When it comes to refitting the pump. Locate the pump in its spigot (it only fits in one location). Then get a helper to push down on the pump really hard. This will compress the seal enough for the locking ring to locate on the threads. Then knock it round until it's tight.
 
Hi everyone
Thanks for the link to special tool, at £70 I will definitely give it a bit of gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet and some hardwood
Many thanks
 
I will second fitting the seal to the tank, then fit the sender unit. Tried really hard, with lots of swearing, just couldn't get the thread started. Fitted seal to tank first - dead easy.
Hammer and screwdriver worked for me!
