My '85 745 TD has developed a fuel leak at the shaft seal. The pump is not leaking anywhere else so I would like to try to save myself a bunch of work and replace the seal with the pump on the car, if possible. Has anyone attempted this? Any good tips or tricks to it?
I have a way to get the drive gear off with the pump in the car. The big challenge I think will be getting the old seal out. Last one I did, I had pump out on the bench and it was still a chore. Hoping I can do it without pulling the pump off this time -- I have had to R & R so many of my cars' pumps over the past couple months, my lower back is beginning to develop new muscles I never had before!
