Does anyone know if the seal on the passenger side of the ip pump can be replaced without pulling the pump out. It is the seal at the bottom behind the leaver. Mine is leaking bad from there. ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

according to my gm service book the throttle shaft seals are serviceable without removing the pumpDoes anyone know if the seal on the passenger side of the ip pump can be replaced without pulling the pump out. It is the seal at the bottom behind the leaver. Mine is leaking bad from there.![]()
When those go the pump soon follows, not because of the seal, but because the pump and that seal seem to always wear out together. Might start filling the piggy bank.
Thanks. I have a new ip pump just did not fill like swaping it in just yet.
great pics, we thank you. Well, you have all the hard part done, well there's always putting back togetherMay I ask how you actually removed the throttle shaft to replace the seals? On the opposite side of the throttle linkage, I see the collar/clamp looking deal but I'm unable to discern how I get the other gizmos out of the way without breaking them so that loosening the clamp would matter. That is, assuming the throttle shaft is meant to slide out towards the driver's side of the truck.
I've got a similar leak that drips from the highlighted spot on the throttle linkage below. I've got another injector pump as well, but would rather just replace the seals if I can get away with that.

This is the bit where I seem to have run out of talent;

I got mine from a reputable father and sons injection pump repair shop.Man, that is an excellent description. Thank you.
BTW - where can I get these seals in a hurry? Are they standard fuel injection type o rings that I would find in a fuel injected o-ring kit from Advance or is this something I need to order specifically from the dealer?
You did remove the keeper that is held on with an Allen head type screw?Well the slide out part for the throttle shaft isn't working for me. For everything in the world, it feels like it is hitting something solid. It moves about a half inch to 3/4" before stopping though. I suspect I'm now committed to swapping out the pump. Thoughts on what I might be missing?
We thank you for your photos!Got it figured out. Found a nice little write up on the web that indicated the gear would stay put so long as I didn't get sporting and rotate the crankshaft after the injector pump was removed. So I now have a new injector pump...though with my original cap because the new pump has a 24v fuel solenoid. I took some pictures and I think I might do a write up of sorts with them since there might be other booger eaters like myself who respond better to crayons/pictures over words and such (grin).
Final result this evening:

btw - here's what three guinness, constant egging on from friends who didn't turn any wrenches but kept offering a hammer, and an end user dialing the stupid up to 11 looks like:

I'd like to use the above picture as a reminder: If the throttle shaft (or whatever sensitive item you are working on) won't slide out easily, don't keep hitting it with a hammer "just to see". Some days I look at some of the things I've done and wonder how it is possible I'm able to find my way home more often than not.
So I should be done with this guy tomorrow. If anyone wants to look at the pictures before I make links to them on a write up or anything, you can find them in the following folder:
