How do I get the primer pump off?(68220D)
I just got my new primer pump in the mail, which will hopefully fix my "new" car, but I cannot imagine how to install it. it is so close to the injection pump and some bolts with hoses coming out. will vice grips do it? thanks

I used vice grips. I tried using a faucet wrench but it wouldn't work.
Vice grips will certainly do the job but I had a helluva time getting it off. I was just about to give up when it all of a sudden popped loose. Be careful of the fuel lines next to the primer pump. If they're original they're extremely brittle... ask me how i know.

i got the old one off. now i dont' know how to tighten down the new style pump, without removing the line beside it. is it inevitable? is there some way t0 tighten it down without taking off other parts?

no you should take the line off.

arggggggggggggg
i couldn't get the line off. it is stuck pretty well. a long crescent is too big, and the box wrench +my strength isn't working either. maybe some tomorrow night when i haven't just come from karate i will be stronger. I also tried to devise an alternative way to tighten w/out undoing the line, such as wrapping a string around the primer, but the string broke. maybe i will try some flexible wire tommorrow.
