Rob Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'm trying to swap my PS Pump, but I can't remove the big brass coloured banjo, without the darker coloured nut turning as well. I can get a 22mm socket on the banjo nut, with a breaker bar, but the metal retainer has bent. There is little room for a spanner on the other nut (24mm i think). Am I doing something wrong, is it a reverse thread or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Do you mean the nut on the inside of the banjo????? John:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 The nut on the inside is RH thread, but I cant release the banjo from that nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 You need to get a spanner on the inside nut and crack off the outside one , the copper washer is prob. gripping the banjo hence the whole lot trying to turn . John:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 If your spanner (24mm) is too thick to fit into the gap between the banjo and the pump itself, take it to a local engineering shop who can put it on a mill and grind it down a bit (the thickness) so it will fit the nut. You will then be able to hold this nut (!) as you undo the banjo union Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I had a similar problem when trying to get my oil pump off, I used a hammer to get the metal retainer tab back into place, then got a medium breaker bar and whacked it with a club hammer to jerk the bolt loose. If you try and use a long bar and slowly wind the nut undone you just bend the tab every time; an impact wrench would get it off easy, thats the sort of action you need to replicate.

Rob Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 Thanks guys. Time to buy some new tools. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Tis done, I used a alu box section over the 24mm spanner, and a breaker bar on the 22mm socket, and snapped the two undone. The PS still feels a bit bumpy/lumpy though. The new fluid was pink/reddish, but has now gone brown, do I need to flush it all out again, and how much should the system take, as I only put 3/4 litre in.
