My manual says left hand side threads toward back right hand side the opposite.

I've only seen it threads facing forward both bolts.

I personally don't see why both bolts can't have the threads facing forward. I'm only saying the assembly manual says the left one's threads face back and the other side is opposite.

I just pulled my engine. The right bolt was in back to front. The left was front to back. I believe that was because you can't get the left in from back to front due to a lack of space.

I think I may have come up with a way to remove the bolt on the fuel pump side without taking out the pump. If I can cut off the head of the bolt and push it back out towards the rear, I can then insert the new bolt from the rear and essentially never mess with the pump. I think I have enough room to get a sawzaw in there with a sharp metal cutting blade and cut that off. Any thoughts?

If its a Grade 8 bolt will a Sawzaw cut thru it. If not could you get in there with a cut off wheel. As you jack the motor there is a point where the bolt should become loose enough to remove by hand but if you jack the motor too much it will become tight again. I use a bottle jack and piece of 2x4 also. You want this piece of wood to be long enough so it goes past each side of the pan by at least an inch.

I think it would be easier to remove the lines and 2 bolts from the fuel pump, just my opinion. As mentioned cutting through a hardened bolt won't be easy.

I have to agree with you the only thing John has to remember is when he reinstalls the fuel pump he has to make sure the rod that works the fuel pump is pushed up or he'll never get the pump back in.

That's why I'd rather try cutting the bolt than removing the pump. Didn't want to mess with the push rod. Of course, I'd be prepared to go that route if indeed the bolt didn't cut well or I don't have the space to really work in. Just thought I'd bring it up. thanks for the feed back.
