yah pretty much have to use open end wrenches on these, at a minimum one
of them simply will not provide clearance for a socket. And if memory
serves, there's a small radius of motion allowed, so removing the nuts
takes a bit of time.

Yes, those and the fuel lines. One of the nuts, I think the forward one,
is a little tricky to access. Be prepared for some roadside oil
leakage. Check the rebuild kit for completeness. One I obtained was
missing a part and had to be swapped. Also, there is one part, can't
recall which, that is nla.

On removing the fuel pump assembly, is it as simple as undoing the two
(2) nuts on either side of the pump from the side panel of the engine?
I'm not having a problem (yet) with the pump, but it is the only
component of my stock truck that I have not rebuilt or replaced since
owning the thing. And as I am planning a longer than normal trip soon
I'd like to be prepared to tackle a roadside failure of this my weakest
link. A friend gave me a pump rebuild kit, so I have the parts to do the
work. My green b
ble is a little sketchy on removing the assembly.
Any trick to it?
TIA
Ron Ward
