Replacing Fuel pump and frozen check valve....

[MXHOWES at aol.com]

Well, the fuel pump finally quit on my trusty '85 4000Q. I have a good  
working spare pump off a parts car and started in on the job only to find the  
check valve frozen to the banjo bolt on both pumps. It looks like I can get 
the  bad pump off by destroying the electrical connectors on the pump body 
(unless  they are removable .....I doubt it) but getting hold of the little,  
tiny, skinny crammed between the two electrical connectors check valve nut 
looks  almost impossible. (another example of superb German engineering). 
Looks like I  might have to fabricate (grind down) some sort of wrench to get 
on the nut  ....needle nose miniature vice grips maybe.........  So last  
night I soaked everything with PB Blaster and went to have a beer in the hope  
that there might be a BTDT easier way to accomplish the task, if it can 
even be  done.
 
Thanks,
Jim
