just drill it out or hammer it through then pass a new bolt through by using tie-wire. If you google for broken shock bolts you should find a tutorial - no cutting required.

I'll PM you a link for the fuel pump you need, as well as directions for rebuilding the pump yourself in a minute. It's not hard at all and rebuilding it yourself will save you some money if that's important.

like everyone else said, probably a faulty check valve but...I had the same symptoms and I limped it along by doing the "turn the key twice" prime method for around 6 months before the fuel pump finally died in front of my house last week. after reading a bit more it seems as though the hard...

ah, this was something I hadn't considered and makes perfect sense now. Anyone have an idea of what kind of ratio I would expect? 1:1 roughly? If so that would explain why most use a 3 degree shim for this height lift. My maths are...far from up to this kind of problem. I'm measuring the...

oops double post

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I've searched and unfortunately, the more I read, the more confused I get. Please try to be patient as I ask some (probably) stupid questions and try to regain some sanity! I just finished doing a 3103-CV hack-n-tap SYE on my 2000 XJ sport, 3" lift, 5spd with...

Did your new pump come with a new fuel pressure regulator as well? If new there's a slight possibility that the new FPR is faulty and not allowing fuel through the check valve but it would be pretty slim. If the FPR was new is there a chance something fell into the hole the FPR slides into and...

So I went ahead and cut an access panel in the back of my jeep. care must be given to not puncture the tank as it's less than 1/8 away from the floorboards in many spots, less if your floor is dented like mine. I found the best way to avoid damaging the tank was to mark the center of the fuel...

thanks kindly, it's greatly appreciated

wow good timing. can you please post (or PM if you'd rather) the measurements you took to cut the access port? it would save me the hassle of crawling around in the slush. to the other poster, I'm not concerned with cutting holes in my jeep. I understand the risks of doing it improperly and...

well, I guess I'm going to find out my answer much sooner rather than later. Fuel pump completely died today (luckily in front of my house after running around town for 20 starts and stops). Too bad I just filled up with a full tank of gas, it's sleeting out and I live on a 30 degree slope...

wear glasses when you start hammering away under there, lotsa shit to fall in your eyes and make the procedure more aggravating than it needs to be. literally takes all of a few minutes to punch em out and replace with new hardware :clap:

I purchased a Bosch Premium replacement fuel pump for my 2000 XJ, P/N 69222, with the intention of removing my fuel pump assembly and rebuilding the unit along with installing new filters and fuel pressure regulator. I have one concern that I'm hoping someone can help me out with, the...

just to update for anyone who comes across this in a search, I pulled the harmonic dampener off the TC output shaft, bolted everything back up without it installed and took it for a drive. Removing the failing harmonic dampener got rid of the violent, tooth rattling "driveshaft coming...

I'll pull the 1* shims in the next few days and let you know how it goes. but first the harmonic dampener is coming off..
