Default Removing The Bottom Bolt On A VE Pump With Half Of A 13mm Wrench And 2 Hammers.....

it involves cutting the first 2 1/2-3 inches of a box end 13 mm wrench off and also removing the end of the Pressure Modulation Valve with a 11/16 (i believe) wrench, then reaching down under the injection pump between the injection pump and power steering pump and slipping whats left of the box end wrench onto the stud, then the nut, then taking one of the aforementioned hammers and placing the handle end against the wrench and striking the head of the hammer with the head of the other hammer, and VOILA', the bottom bolt is loose, and you make a few turns back and forth by hand working all the grease off the threads and the nut comes off, now i just got to slowly work the pump out with my custom, one off, self designed pump removing tool.......that Snap-On wants like 60 bucks for.....that i can make for about 5......

you take things way too seriously man, you need to take a Valium and settle down.......i was speaking figuratively......you canadians, GEESH........from all the different tools sets ive had, and from the 35 years my dad has been collecting tools and buying tools we got a ton of them.......1/2 inch/13mm is one of the most common sizes of wrenches, and we got alot of them.......so like i said, why spend needed money on a unneeded tool when i can make it......there were some cheap china tool anyways.....probably gave a total of 10 cents for it.......i need to collect all my tools and set down and sort them out, we probably got 5 complete sets of wrenches and sockets.....if not more....
