Trying to change my fuel pump but the cover will NOT budge. I do have the right tool but it isnt moving and getting to the point I may to cut it off and replace.

Who has cut it before and what did u use??? Or any other hints to make it move?

 

You just need to put more *** into it. It'll come off...

 

Don't use an extension...makes it easier to keep the tool on the ring

 

Just use more force ... if you break the cap just replace it with a new one. no biggie.

 

30 inch breaker bar works every time....put a BIT of silicone grease on the threads and the face of the ring when you put it back together..makes it easier to get off later.....

 

LOL More *** - I broke every tab LOL. No chance getting it off. So I am ordering a new Cap.

 

Sounds like you didn't have the right tool then. Or it wasn't attached properly. I think those rings are about 40 bucks at the dealership...not bad. Make sure you buy a new rubber seal too and put a little lube on the threads before you reinstall.

 

i've tried to take that off to clean the sock.
however i gave up kk
pain in the as~~~~~~~~~~~~~s

 

With the correct removal tool it literally take 15 mins to swap out the pump.

 

hmm, the tool I use was the Mazsport tool ... he lend it to me for free ... now Mazsport is gone I wonder where the tool went lol ...

Anyway, I opened mine in hmm maybe 2 minutes (with the tool)

 

HAHA...with the right tools it is extremely easy, I hear ya nycgps!

 

wd 40 around the ring and through the little holes in the ring..

i had this happen at a track day a couple of weeks ago. everthing was hot.. could not get it to budge.. and i have the right tool, and was using a 1/2 tq wrench..

broke to tabs and let it go..

got home. wd 40, pump in and out in less than 20 min..

and i agree. some silicone grease on the threads on the install for the win..
