The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Well today wel finally had some progress with the cover after much heaving and prying the cover finally came off so i could actually find out what type of pump was fitted so I could order one.

As a matter of interest I deciced to see if the pump would come loose by turning the top bolt....... Yeah right!!

So with bolt out instead we decided to try and remove the impeller from the top of the pump but to no avail.

so looks like special tool time to get the pump out.

Has anyone got a decent photo of the special tool needed for this job so i could try to clobber somithing together???

I ave never done this but seem to recall something along the lines of slide hammer and screw in bolt thingy. Not exactly whay you wanted but you never know.

cheers for that one.

I take it the end of the slide hammer is welded to the left hand threaded bolt then and the bolt is used to bump the pump out.

Sorry to sound a bit thick here but never done one of these before

Sounds like it to me

Good luck with it and don't forget the piccies! We like piccies.

wil do some when I wipe my blood and tears off the engine bay lol

Just like all of us then, eh? Bless these little cars.

if there is anyone in the Norfolkcestershire area who fancies a challenge of changing the pump for a complete mechanical novice and his long suffering wife please feel free to pop round lol

Soz mate you are a bit far away but I do have a tool I could lend you....if you are still stuck...

I have friends who have relatives that way...
