Currently attempting to replace the mechanical fuel pump in my 998 with a 6.2 l. Is there A trick to getting the push rod back up in the block? It seems stuck
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I don't see a plate behind the pump. Is it bolted in or held in by RTV? Can it be coerced with a rubber mallet?
How did you seal the plate to block? If you are going as far as loosening the plate may as well pull it and grease the rodOne easy way is to have the bolts on the back plate loose and reach in from the bottom with a bent hack saw blade. Hold the rod back with the blade and slide pump in place. Once all bolts are in and holding good pull the blade and tighten everything. Did it like this on mine a few days ago. Fought it for an hour before I tried the blade.
Greasing the rod didn’t work on a warm motor. I just used a RTV black on it. Wasn’t a gasket before.How did you seal the plate to block? If you are going as far as loosening the plate may as well pull it and grease the rod
