I made a special tool to get to the IP retainer fastener.

I think it is a 13mm size, and what I did was get a combination wrench and heat the shank with a torch, then bend it 90 degrees. Bend on a plane that keeps the box and open ends parallel to each other. Bent about a third of the way down.

You can tediously remove that last fastener with this tool.

I talked with the Injection Pump rebuild shop and they gave me some pointers as to best methods of getting to the nut between the block and the IP.

He said to use a 1/4" drive with several extensions and a wobble head. Use tape to hold it up write and I should be able to guide the socket onto the nut with a screwdriver or magnet.

I am going to try this today and will let you know how it goes.

Thanks

As I remember getting that support bracket and bolt back ON was the tough part.
