Hi Craig;
The tool is the only way to grab the newer style pump basket and turn it
out. Sometimes you can turn it by hand, sometimes you can't. I couldn't on
my '91 200q, although I tried all sorts of makeshift bars and levers. I
ended up taking it to the dealer - cost $30 to get it changed.
Good luck!

Subject: Fuel pump removal tool 3214
The fuel pump on my '92 100S died last Friday, and I have already ordered a
new Bosch pump, filter, etc. for replacement. Bentley describes the
procedure pretty well for removal and replacement, and mentions special
tool
3214 is required for the pump's removal. I searched the archives, and it
appears that about 50% of those replacing the pump needed the tool. Any
opinions if the tool is really needed or not? If the tool is required, does
anyone have one I can borrow (I'm in the Pittsburgh area), or know a good
source to buy from ($53 + shipping from Blau is ridiculous)? I already
checked with my mechanic, and he does not have the tool. TIA.
