Owen_Dyneto Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Memory a bit distant but I recall 4 bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I can count the bolts for you and send you a photo. packard12s@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) You are missing a rubber hammer. There are 4 visible bolts, two go through the cover to the block, and the other 2 hold just the cover. Someone has put some gasket cement, or oil has petrified, between the block and the pump. when removing the pump, know that the gear will be riding off the cam, so pull gently once loose. If you want to remove the distributor first, that eliminates one final friction point. (of course specifically noting rotor position as you know...)

fordmerc Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 OK,I do see the four bolts. I loosened the two large ones which I think are to the block. I interpret the above to mean that removing the two bolts to the block will allow me to remove the pump (carefully) with a little persuasion. I do have a persuader in the form of a rubber hammer.

flackmaster Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Correct. Its just not "cooperating" with your cautious, gentle, respectful approach. Not a matter of proving who's boss, but its gotta come out...usually a couple raps with the rubber hammer will unseat the gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
