Title: Found the leak now can't get to it...
Post by: kibs45 on July 11, 2009, 11:05:18 pm: (http://etc.gnarlodious.com/Vanagon/Bosch_Pump/80.jpg)
Has anyone seen this setup but with a security head instead of a nut and a washer? Mine has a goofy thing I can't get off, its completely round, with two notches out of it. Kind of makes replacing the seal difficult. I will try and get a picture but anyone with experience with how to get it off please let me know!
