Lucas to Bosch help

[ginge191]

My car is going under the knife today to get a Bosch replacement pump. I understand the pump timing needs to be altered once fitted. Is there a specialist tool needed to do this or is there just a simple way of doing it? Cheers

If you're referring to advaning/retarding the pump timing, it's a matter of 'rocking' it on it's pulley mounting.

By rocking i don't mean similar to backwards and forwards constantly; more just moving it slowly. I'm inclined to suggest you do it when the engines off, retard/advance as necessary, start it up, how's it sounding/looking etc.
