removal of hydraulic pump

I need to remove the hydraulic pump to get at the sheared off aux pulley bolt. Does anybody have any tips to do this before i start the job at the week end. All the help is appreciated.

Is it better to fit the new auxillary pulley before i refit the hydraulic pump?

Cheers

hi, not sure exactly which bolt has sheared... but if it is the auto tensioner, certainly on later TD xantias, you can caerefully drop engine on the one side to get this out.. (i.e. undo top RH engine mount, and lower the jack )
sorry if it's not relevant..

The pump is easy enough to remove after disconnecting the pipes (use a 12mm flare nut spanner on the high pressure unions) but it's a very messy job as much LHM will spill.

As John says, to get the bolt out there should be no need to move the pump.

If you do find it won't come out then you'll have to have the whole casting off. This is easy enough after removing both the pump and alternator. The casting is bolted tho the block with three bolts, two being Allen bolts.
