JCB T4 540-140 HP fuel pump

[Splosh]

Morning all,
Got to swap the high pressure fuel pumping a T4 JCB 540-140. Looks like an engine out job though, as there's not enough room between chassis and timing case to get special removal tool in.
Or is there a trick I'm missing?

seem to recall Aiden @CPS saying the side mounted engines ain't a bad prospect to get out .. may even have said they'm on slideouts ..... was a long time ago though

Yes it's engine out job I'm afraid.

but was my memory correct about it being a railed, slide out job Aiden??? or is it spanners, sweat, blood and skin all the way

The engine is bolted directly to the bevel box, so it doesn’t just slide out as far as I know.

Once you get the bonnet off and the skirt off at the bottom you get good access round the engine to pop it out

Yeh not good the older ones had a plate to remove to get to the nut.
