Re: [T3] Repairing FI fuel pumps


I have the cap, seal both springs and the valve in
there.  RIght now I have a zip tie holding it all
together.  I have a working pump for the car now, but
if I can get this one back in one piece, it's always
good to have a spare.  I just know there is a special
tool lurking somewhere for this task.
