The injection pump has been sitting for 5 years

That's a nice tool.  Thanks for the link.  I'll probably get one.  There is no concern about scratching the main shaft, tho.  It is incredibly hard.  I actually took a spare and tried very hard to mark it with a fresh screwdriver, seal puller, utility blade, scribe, etc...  I could not make a mark with anything softer than carbide.

Good to know, I've used a screw to pull them out, but had a scary moment.  With the tool I managed to do a Volvo shaft seal without removing the pump which was a nice time saver of r a 'is this a runner' test.  Works nice for mainseals too.  At some point, I will probably make a couple different hooks for it, that seems to be the only limiting factor.

I just watched these you tube vids;

Have you guys made a similar pump mounting bracket to put in a vise as this Bosch technician?

Also, as far as making tools go.....for the pressure regulator, wouldn't a regular open wrench work to re and re this? It only has 2 parallel flats to it.

This tech also measures the difference in height of the rollers with a dial gauge to check for differences greater than .02mm, and also measures the protrusion of the shaft [ sorry, can't remember the name of the shaft ]  before removing, and again after replacing.....not sure why though? Do you guys do this?

There is no mention of torque values for any of the screws / bolts and other stuff, why? Is it not critical?

My pump is an LDA style pump.
Is disassembly for the rest of the pump the same as in the threads I posted above, after I get the LDA part off?

Thanks to Andrew's post, the LDA part re and re looks less daunting. However, that is quite the stack of springs on the governor shaft.......hummm. Has anybody disassembled this model of VE pump?
