How do able is this without the backing plate the FSM calls for? I've got the pump off my car and that spring seems MIGHTY tight. I'm worried will I be able to get the dang thing back together!!?

I think they tell you too make the backing plate because you need it to get the pump back together. Not hard to fabricate and when you put the pump back on, align the valleys of the timing device vertical, then you wont be working against the spring again.

I had forgotten to put the washer under the piston. When I took the pump off my clamping rig, the spring loaded roller was stuck all the way up...so I took it apart again...did it again, same result. I'm very frustrated!

Can you take a pictures of it and post them? That may help us. Would need to see both sides--the top of the piston, and the back side to see the arm too.

There are some pretty good pictures of a rebuild at the link below. Check it out...
