I don't think I'd be confident enough to install the hpfp myself, is there anyone here that could help?
I am doing my first one at the moment and the biggest issue so far has been finding a deep 18mm socket that is long enough and internally wide enough to go over the spring and retainer. The retainer is 17.1mm diameter. Mine doesn't reach and I had to compress the spring to get the pump apart with a bit of force and a bit of luck. Fortunately I am working on a spare pump, I would have been much more nervous pulling it apart if it was my only one.
I also had a small issue with the retainer and the instructions and I am waiting to hear back from Corksport before attempting reassembly.
Maybe someone with more experience and better tools can comment on how easy or hard it is.
Also you need an E8 reverse torx socket to remove the pump. Got my set from Tradetools.
