Ahhh, maybe that's right....
Now that you mention it, the return line sitting on the intake manifold was a clearance issue with the "standard" wrench
I was thinking of tightening down some of the injector lines....dang, mixing up my stories...

I don't think anyone makes new IP's so the pump depends on the rebuilder. All pumps from U-haul have been rebuilt by great rebuilders so far. Injectors are from U-haul are rebuilt and I've heard good things about those as well. Can't find a pic of that wrench but its quite simple really. Just flatten the closed end side with a grinder so it can get around the nut. Imagine a closed end side of a wrench that is 1/8 inch thick.

Oh, OK. That seems simple. It would probably help quite a bit if my grinder wasn't 2000 miles away. Man, that's going to be a long walk. I better get started now.
I assume I can keep my core, right? Is it hard to rebuild an injection pump? If not, I could have a rebuilt spare if I ever needed it and for little money.

If you get it from U-haul, there is no core meaning you keep it. Yes you could have it rebuilt, its gonna be about the same as buying a rebuilt pump though.
A grinder is as close as your local tool store.

Eaton,
This post has pictures of Wrecks' IP wrench (and his clean fingernails too! lol) The pics of my wrenches, later in the post, are not for an IP, but I'll give anyone extra credit points if they can figure out what they were for!
Good luck!
Mac.

A modified wrench isn't "really" necessary, it just makes the job easier and it feels more satisfying being able to get the nuts really tight.
I've gotten by several times with a standard wrench using the open end.
As for making a wrench, I use the open end and I just ground the handle down where it hits the intake manifold. Once you get to that point, it's very easy to see what to do to make a wrench work.
Holy crap Wreck, my fingers aren't even that clean after I wash them or get out of the shower!
I'm stumped with those wrenches...I can't think of anything that takes a 9/16" and needs that serious of a curved handle.
The injector lines are 5/8". Unless those are for the fan...
