Thanks.
I guess one thing I should add is that you obvioulsy don't have to go about trying to get the little valve out of the upper brass fitting the same way I did (and ultimately mucked it all up). If you want to replace that one, I would suggest (as Diesel911 did) using a Dremel or a drill to remove some of the lip that holds the valve in. You are going to have to do this anyway - there isn't any way around it. Once you have removed enough, you can get the old valve out, insert the new one and the use JB Weld like I did. Another option would be to drill a few spots out around the perimeter of the lip so that you can bend little tabs of the lip out, remove old - insert new, then bend the tabs down. That would probably work as well, but I think the JB did a fine job. Either way - at least you'll know a little more going in than I did, but it still worked out well.

leak
If I have a leak coming from the lift pump gasket on the side of the injection pump. How do I know if I just need to replace the gasket or rebuild/replace the lift pump.
Just for clarity I call it the lift pump but it seams to be referred to as the fuel pump. Regardless I'm not referring to the injection pump. Thanks for the help.

If it is leaking Engine Oil that is the Gasket between the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump and the Fuel Injection Pump Housing. Also on the M type Fuel Injectin Pumps there is a Cover right above the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump that can leak downwards and seem like it is the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump. If it is fuel that is leaking it is something on the Fuel Supply/Lift Pump itself.

If no Propane Torch putting it in an conventional (not microwave) oven up to 400 degrees would likely do the same job.

I know this is an old thread, but that is a whole lot of work, at fairly high risk if not done properly, for a part that is readily available brand new and very easy to swap out.
Fairly high risk to low reward ratio. |

To add, I just did the swap with a new unit as part of sending my injectors out for a rebuild and replacing ALL the fuel lines in the engine compartment, plastic, braided and rubber, as well as a few other items.
Since the intake manifold was already off, R&R of the fuel/lift pump was all of ten minutes, most of which was wiping the engine oil that leaks out of the IP. With all the work, there is no more pinging and nailing, and it runs about as smooth and quiet as it did 100K miles ago. DIY the rebuild if you want, but the time and risk saved is well worth the $130 the complete replacement pump kit costs, gasket and copper o-rings included. |

I know back in the 50's they actually rebuilt water pumps, but this rebuild is not plug and play.

However, the part he is speaking of is the outlet nipple on the Fuel Supply/lift pump that contains a valve crimped in place. If you are willing to carefully JB Weld Epoxy the new Vale in place to get the old valve out you can simply get some coarse (80-40 grit) sand paper and a piece of wood about the size of the sand paper, put the sand paper on the board rough side up and the Nipple valve side down and sit while you watch TV and simply sand the lip off. That would remove the whole lip and you can pry out the valve. The other methods could be done with the Nipple in a vice grips gripped around the Hex of the nipple. I don't recall if there was an issue with the other valve which is retained inside of the Piston.
