I believe Diesel Dan (Previously from DPP) posted a how-to on youtube.

fairly simple job but buy a proper puller for them (IMO),they are pretty cheap but well worth the money -

The biggest tricks to installing the new pump is don't unbundle the injector lines, leave all the blue tabs in place and pull them as one piece. And when your lining the key way up check it every couple of turns of the wrench with the mirror. It will go in wrong and crunch that key way down and you won't know it till it's to late. Once it's done the pump is as good as junk. So check it often and be sure it's lined up right on the money.

Once you get in there you will find out that gear is no problem at all.

Where ya at in Calhoun County. If you get into a real problem I can probably take a road trip down to play at Pierre Marquette Park and swing through to help out. -

Heythanks guys i will be able to use all your help and unle bubba i am about 6 miles north of Hardin in michael hollar were bouts you be.

Yea i am still trying to find me a pump used possibly bec. my wifes car blew the motor like the day befor my truck pooped out and shes the only one workin so yea it sucks right now just trying to keep food on the table for the 3 kids -

Originally from the Greenfield area but in Springfield now . We still make road trips down to play in the park once in a while though and if you get in a bind I can use that excuse for a road trip. I'm bettin you will do fine with it though, just go slow. It's easy to do, just have to pay attention to the details when tightening the front nut down.

Call Area Diesel Service over in Carlinville and see what they can do for you. They are an authorized Bosch rebuild center and may have somethin on hand to make ya a deal on. 1-800-637-2658 -

Yea thats cool will deff. give them a call say im nervous bout doing it bec. i dont have the money to fix anything if i break it ,y other rpoblem is i dont have a bunch of tools just a craftsman socket set and some diff. typs of pliers. so i am kinda worried about that. but ill do what i can i guess -

Been a while since I've done one but I think that about all your gonna need other then an open end wrench to pull the injector lines and somethin to pull that little gear off. If need be you can run it into any gas station shop and have them pull it for a couple dollars I'm sure, it's a simple little thing to do. You can make one but it's cheaper to spend the 10 bucks and buy a little junk one. Most any parts shop will also rent ya one free, just make the deposit or just use it right there in the store. -

Yea i alled that place that ya gave me the number to and they wanted 1o25 for a rebuilt one witch is a good price but i just dont have the money i am working on one for like 600 from some one on here and i guess ill let ya know when i get one heck if you wanna make a trip some time let me know i could use the help hey i do have to say tha it is nice to have a fellow diesel guy on here that lives somewhat near my location . I also hve a new quadzilla add. and a raptor 150 lift pump on its way to -

hey, i pulled the gear off of the front of the pump with a simple steering wheel puller, worked great! its a snap to change only took about 2 hours and that was explaining what i was doing to my wife -

2000 cummins, adrenaline, dual lift pump, straight piped, afe intake, hx40 turbo?

Lol thats great i would try to explain to myn but she would just stand there act like shes listning and then ignore me the whole time and then when i was done she be like what were you saying i lost ya after you first said something about get that wrench for me. That would just piss me off -

We make the occasional road trip that I can use for an excuse if you get in a bind on any of this stuff. She can wait in the truck long enough for me to get ya back workin again if you get stuck on somethin. Most a this stuff looks harder then it is as long as you take it one step at a time instead of tryin to figure it out all at once.

If you need some serious mechanic work done I can't promise ya free work from em but I have a kid here with me that brings in project cars and trucks all the time to my place and works on em for guys and i have a cousin over in White Hall that is a Diesel Mechanic at the Ford dealership in Jacksonville. I'm sure he'd do side work at home to. -

well the videos from diesel dan on youtube helped a bunch, it clears up a lot of confusion i would highly recomend watching them first. its very easy to do though i had no problems with the keyways, or getting it running afterwards with no leaks and im new to diesels. -

Yea i have watched them i should be fine with it all i am pretty good with my hands i was a deisel mechanic in the army ut i worked on like detroits and stuff but yea i should be ok it just looks worse than what it is. I was just worried bout that dame gear but i will call some places and find one of those gear pullers -
