Removing the IP

[michaelovitch]

I've used a punch made of wood and banged it with a hammer.
Banged ,yes, but gently, on one side and on the other after having soaked with wd 40.


It worked godd each time.

You can heat up the pulley too

If you say it runs well with a 5 psi electric pump, it could be a air leak that's affecting the pump's ability to suck fuel. The shaft seal behind the pulley comes to mind.

There is a good write on the web somewhere which shows how to dismantle the VE IP from a Peugeot. Its been translated from French into English. It would be a good reference to have for that job.

The shaft seal is fine. It does not let the fuel flow back to the pump when it sits.

This works, maybe even better than gear puller, for a tapered shaft fit application.
