You never cease to amaze me Peter with your level resourcefulness that’s a daunting task changing that high pressure pump another great watch thanks mate.
I’m a strange kinda bloke Kevin, sometimes I just can’t see the value in buying special tools that take most of the profit from a job & I might not ever use them again. So weirdly I take a calculated chance & it mostly works out. Probably a mad concept though 😬😂😂😂
Thank you sir 🙏 I have so much equipment & special tools that I quite often forget what I have. But didn’t have the tool for this pump replacement, so I carried on regardless. This might not be best practice but something I do do when stuck just to keep a job going or meet a deadline 😬😬 It is Fantastic having someone from Greece watching an Irish lad, hopefully you can understand my accent 🤞🤞
I find it hard to part with good money on every second job needing special tools. Especially if I think the jobs are simple enough. I have bits thrown all over the workshop and sometimes even forget I have them and order a 2nd 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
No, not on these pumps. They are tapped shaft driven with no locating tabs in the pulley, hence just being concerned about keep my timing chain somewhat tight just to avoid the cam or crank jumping teeth 😉👍👍👍
Great video, is it essential to Lock that front sprocket on the Timing before removing the fuel pump? I’ve got the 3.2 in line 5 I presume it’s the same thing I haven’t got into the guts of it yet they were charging $3300 to replace the gasket.
Hey Billy, the 3.2 is the same as the first tool I made up, it was slightly different than the 2.2. It isn’t necessary to lock the pump in place. But it is necessary to keep the pump pulley in its central position on the pump. You cannot allow the timing chain to get slack and jump teeth. It would probably be worth inquiring about the locking too if you have time on your side 🤔🤔
Today I qualify as a professional mechanic. I have a shock absorbers stuck to a threaded bolt on the rear of my Mazda. The only way to get it off is to use an angle grinder. Peter wish me luck.❤❤
@@bastogne315 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well done mate, I’m only getting to reply now, apologies. Some of these type rusty bolt jobs can be testing. But what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, great job 💪💪
Thanks John, but you are correct. That is the real world at times not having all the special tooling needed but yet the job has to be done. The owner will be collecting it tomorrow 😬😬😬😬 Cheers mate 🙏
I will fit customer supplied parts but the can quite often be wrong or of really poor quality. Which then becomes a problem when they don’t work after being fitted. I don’t be as concerned with price as I do quality 🤔🤔

@@kennedysgarage3281we have all done it spent good money on tools only never have used em more the once 😫
Good morning...Very,very clever what you did with the 3/8 extensions...Greetings from Greece
Thank you sir 🙏

Peter, you're so resourceful. You always 'adapt, improvise and overcome' 😂

Great job again Peter and an excellent video 👍
Cheers Alan 🙏🙏🙏
Great home fix Peter.
It worked anyway Michael, thank goodness. They don’t always go to plan 😬😬😬
Great info as always Mr Kennedy. :-)
Nothing like a short cut when it works out, but if it goes wrong 😬😬😬😬
You deserve more subs mate 👍
Wow, thank you so much Adam I really appreciate that 🙏🙏🙏
Super job any timing on pump when putting in new one or Is it just high pressure
No, not on these pumps. They are tapped shaft driven with no locating tabs in the pulley, hence just being concerned about keep my timing chain somewhat tight just to avoid the cam or crank jumping teeth 😉👍👍👍

Brilliant surgery. Dr Kennedy
Hey Chris, nothing like a bit of chancing you arm to get the blood pumping 😂😂😂😂
Luckily it mostly works out 🙂🙂
Ingenious Peter. Was there any coding to do on the replacement pump?
No Trevor, no coding needed I just done an injector pump relearn after fitting. The complete job is relatively easy to do 😉😉
good job mate

Gonna do the lower control arms if the shocks go well and those little drop link things.
Oh gonna try a pullers on the shocks before I take out grinder. Missus is gonna go nucking futs if the power tools are deployed..😂
Got it done....whatever mechanics charge for those jobs it's not enough!!

@kennedysgarage3281 Thanks Peter. I stuck up a UA-cam on it.😂
excellent real mechanic

Same engine as on defender 2012
Wow, that is handy to know 😉👍👍👍👍
brilliant job
A bit DIY but it worked Ray 🙏🙏🙏
Spot on clever guy
I suppose it’s a slight bit chancy but I sometimes like taking a calculated risk 😬😂😂😂
Have you ever removed the HP PUMP from the Pumo Supply pulley at the bottom of the timing belt assembly on a 2010 Ranger PK 3L diesel 4x4 ute ??
No, unfortunately not. It should be quite easy though. Are you getting stuck on something??
top job
Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏
Peter if a customer turns up with their own parts do mechanics hunt them. I can imagine it could be a pain if customer bring wrong part etc.
I will fit customer supplied parts but the can quite often be wrong or of really poor quality. Which then becomes a problem when they don’t work after being fitted. I don’t be as concerned with price as I do quality 🤔🤔
Loved it
Thank you Harry 🙏🙏🙏
