I'm stuck - just removed main fuel pump and have a question 200 1983

Thank you!!! It worked!!!!!!!!

I basically followed your advice and pulled the plastic protective pieces off the old pump's wiring posts. This opened up enough space for me to use two open end wrenches to get the bolt and hose off.

The new fuel pump accepted the fuel hose and bolt without any problems. No need to remove the plastic caps. No need for two wrenches. It just slid on (with the two washers don't forget) and then bolted nice and tight.

Probably should have bought a new accumulator since I had to take everything apart anyway but oh well.

This is one thing I can advise people who need to replace the main pump on turbo models. It's a pain in the butt to disassemble everything and you have to disassemble the accumulator anyway so rather then bolting the old one back into place why not bolt in a new one?

Live and learn I guess..........................
