The hub (3) for the fuel injection pump is installed to the shaft in the factory in order to ensure that the fuel injection pump is in the correct position for timing. If the nut (2) is loosened and the hub moves, the hub will need to be accurately installed to the fuel injection pump by the use of specialist equipment before the fuel injection pump can be installed to the engine.The locking screw (4) and the washer have been removed from the fuel injection pump from July 2005. The locking screw and the washer has been replaced by a plug.New fuel injection pumps will not be supplied in the locked position.The timing pin (1) will be needed in order to time the fuel injection pump.
