Here is a simple, cheap, and for me, effective, DIY pump lock: DIY IP timing lock
Greg,

Thank you for the info on the homemade IP lock tool.

I will go make 2 of those so I can lock both pumps for removal.

Just so I am clear I am supposed to remove the plug from the pump where the tool goes, turn the motor by hand until the ridge visible in the hole is horizontal, then install the tool and tighten the plug to hold the tool in place. That sound right?

How would I know if I have the timing correct (or 180 out)? I have never touched a mercedes diesel before.

Thanks

Bob
