I'm in the process of trying to replace the fuel pump on my 1074 1.8. Is there some secret method to loosening the clamp that holds the pump to the body? I can't figure out how to access the bolt that tightens the clamp.
Thanks in advance! |

Mike,
If your fuel pump is like my original, you need a 1/4" drive with an extension to get the nut off. It's tight but doable. I don't remember what the nut size was; maybe 10 or 12mm? Here is a picture of my original fuel pump. Obviously you need to remove the flapper before you can get at the pump.  |

Hi Steve: I was able to get the upper bolt, but couldn't access the lower one. I wound up just cutting the clamp with a Dremel tool. I'm going to rig up another mounting system to make the job easier next time! Mike |

Interesting. My original pump was only attached with the upper bolt. The bottom position was just a rubber bumper. FYI I replaced my original with a Bosch 69133 mounted on the firewall.
