xm v6 12 valve hydrulic pump removal

Post by pj3107 » Tue Jul 01, 2025 9:38 am

Hi everyone
It seems my hydraulic pump appears to have a bearing failure as front/pully end of pump is getting rather hot and making the belt smoke along with a squeeking noise ( best i can explain it)

Question is there a special allen key for loosening the tension bolt or do i have to pay a vast sum to some south american surgeon to rearrange the shape of my hands to be able to get the thing loose ? :D

Maybe i am not trying hard enough but if anyone out there has taken off/ replaced the pump any advice would be gratefully received

Thanks
