I think the person who designed the Land Rover must have been very tall or at least presumed that everyone buying them would be. Being only 5ft 7 in I had to stand on a block of wood before I could get enough leverage on the nuts.
Disconnecting the fuel pipes requires the undoing of two ½ inch nuts, one of which is easy to get at and unwound without a fight. The other is situated just out of reach, near the bulkhead. This also has an inconvenient pipe and bracket where the spanner needs to be. It was thus time to employ the age old art of delicately bending said bracket with a steel bar and a hammer. The job looked quite straightforward now two more nuts holding the pump to the engine plate and it would be off.
