easy? lol! ahhh removeing the injection pump. easy for me yes. time consuming yes. actually if i ever remove another glo plug i will remove the pump, mark my word. back on track you need one of those long craftsman screw drivers and 3 fingers and maybe some wd40 for that little screw.

Using a little telescopic, pencil sized magnet helps to establish the desired position and maintain the position of the "holed" retaining screw.
It also helps with the large washer behind the clip which holds the cable in the large rubber eyelet on the pump. Patience and fine motor skills are prerequisites.

Here's a thought to consider: are the cold start device cables different between early- and late-style 1.6L TD injection pumps? Early pumps only have 1 position while later pumps also have the fast-idle position. Are the 2 positions solely a feature of the injection pumps?

A block heater if you have a power source.
A manual switch to run glow plugs.
Battery blanket.
