P7100 Removal
Talked to a diesel shop in Yuma, Az about getting my timing done. He told me he didnt have specialty tools all he would do is remove the pump and adjust the timing inside the pump and re-install. Doesnt sound like anything I have heard before but Im no diesel mech. Is this nuts or is he correct in doing the timing this way? He said if I brought the pump in he would do it for around $40. Is this a waste of time? If not how hard is it to get the pump off? I cant find anyone close to here with a set of timing tools and no shops around here seem to be on the same track as what I have read on this forum. Is there such thing as a loan a tool timing set from any auto parts stores? Guess I may just have to drive it someplace in California to get it done and then drive it back. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

you can do it with out any tools, just the pins and figure out what 1 degree measures out to on your harmonic. do a search on timing and i think you will bring up the thread on it. i have a friend that does it all the time with out the proper tools.

Do you have a link to the thread. If I can remove the pump and get it done for $40 then I will be all over it. If the parts needed to put the pump back on are more than the cost of the tools to do it myself then I will do it myself. Thanks for the input.

The most specialty tools needed for the "poor mans timing kit" is a 30mm socket to bust the nut loose on the front of the pump and some puller to get the gear loose from the shaft.

I've never heard of anyone taking the pump off to time it and wouldn't trust anyone who says to do it that way.
The tool-less method gunracer speaks of assumes you know what the timing is set at before you start otherwise it's just a guess.

A dial indicator and stand for $25 at harbor frieght, the delivery valve tool is about $35, the gear puller is about $15. Thats about as low as you can go and still get the job done. Kevin
