its much easier than i thought. i was putting it off because it sounded a bit of a procedure but i think people make it out to be harder than it is. Literally put a rag under the valve and press it in with a screw driver, it will spurt out a little bit then keep trickling. No need for the spanner over the spline bit malarky, use this bit on the ebay link. i ordered it last week and it only took 2 days to come. I used a 3" extension and undid it with a ratchet, then a 17mm on the other union and a few bolts on the pump and its off. Its not as daunting as people make out.

I guess it wouldn't be long before that ^ would be like this:



Wow, what age of car and mileage did you find that at?

It looks like the nominal thickness of the top face is approx 1mm, it would be interesting to know how quickly the metal is worn once the TC coating has diminished  :confused:

Old link (with torque values) from KMD is no longer available.
Since I changed my cam follower a few days ago... here is the new link. (click)

T30 Torx Bolts: 10 Nm (7.3 foot pounds)
Banjo Bolt: 17 Nm (12.5 foot pounds)
Fuel Line Nut: 25 Nm (18.4 foot pounds)
Low Fuel Pressure Sensor (G410): 15 Nm (11 foot pounds)

HTH!  :happy2:
