Can you Bend 3.5mm Hydraulic pipe?

Thanks, I agree with you both. Never seen pumps with these before and I've had a few 1.9TD over the years. I've managed to get the lowest and most accessible dome headed bolt out with grips and effort. Gives me hope for the others although they are in such difficult locations I expect I'll be taking risks with the grinder and a cutting disc soon. All the bolts will have to be replaced so that's my next internet trawl session booked. I'll let you know how it goes.

Just in case it's any help, in the Members Area > Resources you'll find a Bosch document covering the construction and working of the range of VE type axial injection pumps. Contains servicing details too.
