W124 3 litre diesel O ring / copper washer replacement on fuel pump

[Salwin1978]

Hi

I am attempting to change the rubber O rings and copper washers on my 92 merc 3 litre diesel non turbo.

Was after some advice re access, as I thought I would need to remove the inlet manifold to access the fuel pump.

I started the work today and after removing the air box etc I found that I had good access to the fuel pump, and as long as I can find a shorter torque wrench, I reckon I can do the job without removing the inlet manifold,,,has anybody else done this? Ay advice much appreciated, I've got a couple of days to wait untill my 33 tooth spline tool arrives..

Thanks
