Hi,
I will be replacing my injector pump with a rebuilt pump on my westerbeke 40 this coming week. I have read this forum and there is a lot of good info in it...thanks to all of you who took the time to respond...I have a couple of questions
What is the allen size for the lower nut. Somewhere I read 5/16's. Does anybody know. Also should these bolts be torqued down to a certain torque or is tight good enough?
I may have to remove the heat manifold to make it easier to get to the pump. Is there a torque number for those bolts or is tight good enough?
The timing issue seems like it could be a nightmare but that has been address in this forum so I will just try to scribe a line ( if I can't find it) and do my best......
Any other thoughts? It seems that most has already been covered.
Thanks again to all the people who took the time to share their info.

Just finished the job, it wasn't to bad really. Did it over a weekend...no surprises just difficult reaching that allen nut....
bleeding wasn't bad but we have an electric fuel pump...saved a lot doing it ourselves.....
