Hey all

Im trying to remove my stock fuel pump so that I can fit a Walbro pump in but Im haveing trouble removing the black circular twist off cover. I looked in the DIY section and it sez to use a screwdriver and a hammer and to carefully tap it counter clockwise but when I do that it doesnt budge, instead the screwdriver digs into the cover.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Guys

Yeh mine was a pain in the ass to get off as well, I ended up using a screwdriver with some rags around the tip so it didn't dig in so much.

Yeh I cut end off a cheap screw driver to make my punch, they are on darn tight that's for sure

i show you a nifty tool last week and you show me one this week.

If it fits would be a hell-of-a-lot easier to use that.

Maybe we should start a nifty tools thread, like NSW. If there was a 32gtr down here i would test said tool out. I use it all the time on falcons, saves so much time/effort/ and money cos you don't f**k the ring and have to go to the wreckers looking through seedy cars

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
