Uncle Meat Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 I bought a new fuel pump for my ybr 125 and proceeded to remove the old assembly from inside the tank. All went well until I tried to remove the cage surrounding the old pump!There are 3 clips (see attached pic) I cannot get these to budge and am wary about prizing out the cage as it's plastic and may crack?Can anyone who has changed one of these before give me the best plan of attack before I go crazy...!!!Many thanks, Dave.

acting_strange Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 That clip that you have ringed should push in allowing the cage to slide past... Quote
Uncle Meat Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 That clip that you have ringed should push in allowing the cage to slide past... That's what I would have thought but it's solid and won't budge...! not even a smidgen.I fear it will snap if I get too brutal, but I suppose I don't have any choice really... Quote
Stu Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I think you will find it hard to snap that personally Quote
Adam Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Try a small flat headed screw driver under the lip of the clip as far as you can get it in then lift it up and with a bit of luck it should move! You might need to jam something in each one to keep them held back whilst you do the next one. Good luck! Quote
Uncle Meat Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 Tried for 2 months to do it and in the end sent it to the shop. The mechanic almost committed suicide doing it but now it is done.I pity anyone else having to do this. As the mechanic said...What a fekkin stupid design. Quote
klingelton Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 tbh, i didn't think the fuel pump on a YBR was much of a consumable part. I stayed away from mine! Quote

Uncle Meat Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 The upshot is that the ybr is a pain in he arse to work on with little back up from previous owners so I got rid of it. Quote
