I can see why people replace it with a electric fuel pump. I finally got my old one off NO THANKS TO THE TM's how is it they can confuse a 10mm bolt with a 11mm(7/16) bolt?
No way in heck would my 10mm socket fit the head of the bolt. 11 mm fit the front one and if I had a 1/4 drive 11 mm socket it prob would have worked for the back one. BUT I all had was 1/4 flex shaft and a 7/16 socket and that worked to get the bolt out.
From the TM.
INITIAL SETUP:
Equipment Condition MaterialslParts
Both battery negative cables disconnected. One fuel pump gasket
(See paragraph 4-3
One mounting plate gasket
Alternators, alternator brackets, and Grease (Item 26, Appendix C)
mounting hardware removed (M1010). Tie-down strap (Item 44, Appendix C)
(See paragraph 4-3)
Too/s/Test Equipment General Safety Instructions
10 mm socket DO NOT perform this procedure near
fire, flames, or sparks.
Not sure if its worth standing on my head and aggravating a already bad back to put a new one on.
Not even sure if this is my problem with low power and white smoke(it is unburnt fuel) out of both exhaust pipes. But the cheapest fix. Next will be replace the injectors and then if that does not solve it then I guess it will be replace the Inj pump.
Question I have is if I replace it with an electric pump does it come with a blank for where the mechanical fuel pump is or do I need to manufacture one myself?
