    TD5 Fuel Pump Locking Ring

    Hi all

    Spent this afternoon putting in a new fuel pump for my D2. For the life of me I can't seem to get the locking ring back on. I don't have the LRT-19-009 tool referred to in Rave and came very close to using the hammer that I got it off with to finish it permantly. Deep breaths...

    Are there any hints or tips for this mechanically challenged numpty for round 2 in the morning?

    Thanks

    are you talking pump or filter? dont remember a locking ring on the filter, just screw it on and then screw the water sensor thingy on.

    Yes, they can be a bit frustrating.


    IF you have a helper, get them to press the pump down in place while you start the lock ring thread. Otherwise no, there isn't any easy way. I feel your pain

    If you've got access to a welder, knocking up one of these 'special' tools will make the job a bit easier. You'll be able to press down and turn at the same time, with turning force on two sides of locking ring.

    A bit of lube on the seals should also help....

    Thanks guys.

    Nice bit of engineering Xtreme. With my welding skills though I'd spend 5 hrs making something similar to find out it didn't quite fit.

    Will apply some more elbow grease & perseverance in the morning.

    naff the special tool

    block of wood, cut it out so that it fits over the fittings on the pump and inside the ring.

    get it all ready to go in and then kneel on top of the block of wood ontop of the pump the lock ring goes on easy

    I did a pump the other day. Admittedly I have a long range tank and so instead of spinning the locking ring on, I had to fit 6 or 8 little screws. I pretty much just pressed down on the pump with the front of my shoe to hold it down and then stuffed around trying to get the screws in. That may also work for you.
    Cheers

    Place the the heel of your boot on the center pump to push it down. Once down far enough and the ring will go on easily. Make certain that the seal is in place correctly.

    I agree they can be a real pain to start.
