What have you guys used for fuel pumps?

[Tony Hoffman]

I've never used any special tool, and have done a few of these. Just takes a
little extra "friendly persuasion" if you know what I mean.

Check out http://www.boschfuelpumps.com/ for your pump, and then just do a
little searching online. I will say that I personally will not use anything
but bosch or pierberg on any older German car. The stock pump will hold up
with upgrades till at least 300hp, btdt. I'd suspect it will go well beyone
that, but I don't know that for sure.I'm sure there are guys who can tell
you more.
