Larry, Crows foot sockets can be used with any length extension. And they usually have quite a bit of extra "meat" on them allowing for some grinding to make it slimmer.

Things were a little seized even after lots and lots of penetrating spray – which made things a little harder. Can’t use locking pliers to put it back on though since they basically wreck the banjo. Holland may be onto something with the ‘crow’s foot socket’ but it would need to be long and thin to get in there. If I can’t find one, I’ll look into grinding down cheap open wrench.

Isn't that plastic wiring connector piece removable? And for a thin wrench I would just buy a cheaper one at Harbor Freight and grind it down but I don't recall using anything special either. I do remember it was a pain to get those banjo bolts loose though.

Just a thought. I replaced both the pumps on my '92, but don't recall which tools were required, which usually means it wasn't a big deal.

I ended up using locking pliers on the already destroyed banjo tube but would rather have a tool that actually fits in here for re-assembly. I’ll keep looking for long thin open end wrenches. (this is my old one and I have a new pump and will be ordering a new check valve. Just wanted to clean all this old stuff up and keep them as spares for future use if needed in a bind.) -Larry *From:* Larry Velez *Sent:* Thursday, December 22, 2016 2:04 PM *To:* '[email protected]' <[email protected]> *Subject:* RE: [mk2-16v] Fuel Pump Check Valve Part Number? Just spoke to AutoHauz, they tell me that 1583386514 is the correct part number and while it looks like the one with the washer is also correct – they could not confirm that in their system as compatible with a 91 GTI 16V. Maybe you have a different year? -Larry *From:* Larry Velez *Sent:* Thursday, December 22, 2016 2:00 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [mk2-16v] Fuel Pump Check Valve Part Number? Thanks for the part number confirmation Steven. I will double check with AutohauzAZ what the difference is between 1583386514 and 1587010532 – it is possible they are the same part but one comes with washers. I also ordered this thin wrench for getting this damn thing off: https://www.amazon.com/Channellock-8SWCB-Adjustable- WideAzz-Opening/dp/B00VBPY91O/ -Larry *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *Steven Arguello *Sent:* Thursday, December 22, 2016 11:39 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [mk2-16v] Fuel Pump Check Valve Part Number?

Looking to buy a new one to replace my very old and cruddy one. While I am at it, what tool do you all use to get to that nut that is obscured by the plastic housing? A narrow adjustable wrench or something better? Thanks, Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
