The  engine is a 1.6 NA diesel from a 84 caddy.


I just don't seem to be  able to get anything on the bottom mounting bolt 
of my Bosch injection  pump.

I removed the small bracket supporting the alternator bracket and  timing 
belt cover, tried every 13mm I have, swivel 13mm and the 90 degree 13mm  tool 
to no avail. 

Any tricks I should try? I don't want to remove the  alternator and mount 
if I don't have to.

Thanks -  Terry




Bottom back bolt is just weasel in there.  Bottom front bolt,  you use a 
socket from the 
front of the engine.  When the engine's on TDC, the opening in the  
sprocket lines up to 
easily put a socket and extension through and loosen it.  From '81 on,  
they use a bound 
lower bolt (the washer for one of the other two is a strap, welded, or  
such, to the bottom 
one) so you can use a socket.  '80 and earlier you need the "special"  
curved 13mm or an 
assortment of wrenches and work it out a bit at a time.
