Anyone got any hints for removal of this little delight? I can't detect the slightest ridge at the bottom to even begin getting something behind.<br>
<br>
Found I've already got 2 new ones in stock so I've been here before.<br>

(part no 145022, P02-41 of parts book, incorrectly described as distributor spindle bush in index)<br>

...drill out one side of the bush opposite the existing split and it will collapse into two halves<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
fill it with grease and use a dowell the same diameter as the pump shaft to hydraulically drift it out

Alun, I owe you a beer.<br>

Option A I didn't fancy, too hard to control the swarf. I thought I couldn't do any harm with the hydraulic approach, just clean out the grease and leave the old bush in if it didn't work. In fact it worked like magic.<br>
