Hi all, has been a while since I visited you all. must be a year or more now.
It is so long since I last removed an injector pump , I cant remember what is involved.
To remove it, can I do it just from the pump side? or does the front cover have to come off? Is there an inspection plate over the relevant area or is it a complete rad and front cover off job?
I remember there being slots in the drive gear to adjust the timing, (or is that a MF135?) but does all this get disturbed when I remove the pump?
Basically can I remove the three? bolts from the pump side, and slide the pump out, and then slide it back in again and the timing will be the same? or do I have to do the spill timing again when I put the pump back?
I need to get the pump off to replace the stop cable lever...lever has broken off half way down...have a spare but the pump needs to come off to replace the arm
Cheers
Neil

Fuel Pump Removal
Removal of the injection pump is pretty straightforward.
Basically undo the 5 retaining nuts that hold it onto the back of the timing case and withdraw it backwards. Getting access to some of the nuts can be a bit fiddly.
However before removing the pump, and to avoid losing the timing, I would remove the inspection cover on the front of the timing cover and turn the engine over with a bar untill you see the timing mark on the pump gearwheel align with the mark on the idler gear. I guess you could cheat by marking the pump and idle gear teeth with tippex, thus avoiding the need to turn the engine with a bar.
Then you can remove the pump. When you refit it, make sure the marks are aligned so you keep the timing.
See also the workshop manual downloadable from Stefan's fordson-dexta.de site. It's all explained in the Fuel Section
All the best,

OK, so timing gear comes out with pump. Could not remember if gear came out or if it stayed in the casing and pump came off.
I did a search on my machine for the pdf files but could not find them, hence the post.
Fuel filters can do with coming off anyway.
Cheers for info.
Oh one other thing, that I could find out when stripping it, but will ask now before it is too late. Does the pump body have any rotation on the timing case, or is it in a fixed position, and all timing adjujstment done on the timing gear/pump shaft joint

Pump body has no rotation on the timing case, it's fixed by the mounting studs. Fine timing adjustment is via the bolts which hold the gear to the pump - as described in the manual. But if your timing is OK you shouldn't need to adjust it - just ensure that the gear teeth are aligned same as when it came off.
