Toyota B 2B engine factory workshop and repair manual digital

- Safety first (read before you start)
- Wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses; diesel/fuel can irritate skin and eyes.
- Work outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area; no smoking, sparks, or open flames nearby.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental cranking or sparks.
- Have a fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids nearby.
- Catch and dispose of fuel properly — use a sealed container and local disposal rules.

- What “Toyota B 2B” likely means and which pump this guide covers
- Many Toyota vehicles with the “2B” diesel engine use a low‑pressure mechanical lift pump (diaphragm type) mounted on the engine block or injection pump housing; this guide covers replacing that mechanical lift pump.
- Do not attempt to rebuild or alter the high‑pressure injection pump unless you have specialized tools and training; injection pump work is best left to a diesel shop.

- Parts you will likely need and why
- Replacement mechanical fuel lift pump (OEM part or exact aftermarket match) — required because the diaphragm or internal valve fails over time causing poor fuel supply, hard starting, or leaks.
- New pump mounting gasket or O‑ring — prevents leaks where the pump bolts to the block; reuse of old gasket often causes leaks.
- New fuel line crush washers or new copper washers (if applicable) — fuel fittings can leak if washers are reused.
- New primary fuel filter (recommended) — when the pump fails it can dislodge debris; changing filter is cheap insurance.
- Thread locker or clean engine‑safe gasket sealant (only if specified by the pump manufacturer) — to secure bolts if required.
- Optional: new mounting bolts (if old bolts are corroded or stretched).

- Tools you should have (basic set plus a few extras) and how to use each
- Socket set with ratchet and extensions (metric sizes 8–19 mm commonly) — for removing pump mounting bolts and bracket nuts. Use the correct socket size, pull the ratchet handle toward you for controlled force; extensions help reach recessed bolts.
- Combination wrench set (open and box end) — for holding fittings or nuts where a socket won't fit. Use the box end for highest torque and the open end for quick turning in tight spots.
- Fuel line/flaring (flare‑nut) wrench (metric) — made to grip the nut on the fuel line without rounding it. Fit the wrench fully over the nut and pull straight to loosen; do not use an adjustable wrench on flare nuts.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips) — for hose clamps, small screws, prying gaskets carefully. Use the correct blade size to avoid stripping.
- Pliers (needle‑nose and slip joint) — for hose clamps, pulling off rubber hoses, holding small parts. Needle‑nose for precision; slip‑joint for general gripping.
- Torque wrench (in-lb/N·m and ft·lb ranges) — to tighten mounting bolts to factory torque spec so you don't crack the pump housing or leak. Set the specified torque and apply slow, steady force until it clicks.
- Drain pan (plastic or metal) — to catch fuel when you disconnect lines. Place it under the pump and keep a rag handy for spills.
- Clean rags and shop towels — for wiping fuel and keeping work area clean.
- Penetrating oil (e.g., PB Blaster, Kroil) — to loosen corroded bolts; spray and let soak for a few minutes.
- Small brush or gasket scraper (plastic or brass) — to clean old gasket material off the mounting surface; use non‑metal if possible to avoid scoring.
- Jack and jack stands (if pump is under vehicle) — lift vehicle safely and support on stands; never rely on a jack alone.
- Battery terminal wrench or 10 mm wrench — to disconnect the battery negative cable.
- Safety equipment: gloves, eye protection, and a well‑fitting mask if you’ll be working around fuel vapors.
- Optional: fuel line quick‑disconnect tool (if your vehicle uses quick‑disconnect fittings) — these are specific sized plastic tools that release the connector clips without damage.

- Preparing the vehicle
- Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and chock wheels.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal with battery terminal wrench to prevent sparks.
- Relieve any system pressure (diesel lift pumps are low pressure; still open a fuel cap to allow venting).
- If the pump is under the vehicle, raise the vehicle with jack and place jack stands under recommended lift points.

- Removing the old pump — step-by-step actions (do each step fully before the next)
- Locate the pump: visually find the mechanical lift pump on the block or near the injection pump.
- Place drain pan under pump to catch fuel drips.
- Loosen hose clamps on rubber fuel hoses with screwdriver or pliers and remove hoses; plug hoses or cap them with clean rags to avoid spills and contamination.
- Use a flare‑nut wrench to loosen the metal fuel line fittings; hold the line steady with another wrench if needed to avoid twisting.
- Remove any electrical connectors (if pump has a shutoff solenoid) by pulling the connector tab and gently pulling apart.
- Apply penetrating oil to mounting bolts, wait a few minutes, then remove the pump mounting bolts with the socket and ratchet or wrench.
- Remove pump from block and note orientation; expect fuel to spill — keep pan and rags ready.
- Clean the mounting surface with scraper and rags until free of old gasket material and debris.

- Installing the new pump
- Compare old pump to new one; ensure inlet/outlet and mounting points match.
- Fit new gasket or O‑ring to the pump mounting face. If manufacturer requires sealant, apply sparingly per instructions.
- Position pump in correct orientation and hand‑thread mounting bolts to avoid cross‑threading.
- Tighten mounting bolts snugly and use torque wrench to final torque to factory specification (if you don’t have the spec, tighten moderately; do not over‑torque—over‑tightening can crack pump housing).
- Reconnect fuel lines: use new copper/crush washers if applicable and tighten flare nuts with flare‑nut wrench until snug — do not round nuts.
- Reattach rubber hoses and clamp them securely with screwdrivers or pliers.
- Reconnect any electrical connectors.
- Replace fuel filter if you’re changing it now (recommended): remove old filter, lubricate new filter O‑ring with clean diesel, and install per directions; tighten to proper fit.

- Priming and checking for leaks
- Replace fuel cap and reconnect battery negative terminal.
- Prime the system: if vehicle has a manual primer lever on pump, operate it until firm and you see fuel flow without air bubbles; if not, turn ignition to ON (do not crank) a few times to energize fuel circuit (on diesel mechanical systems, priming may require hand pumping or cranking — consult pump instructions).
- Start engine and let idle; observe pump and all fittings for leaks for several minutes.
- If air is present, you may need to bleed the system by loosening a bleed screw (if present) until fuel flows solid, then retighten.
- Recheck torque on fittings after first run and inspect for seepage.

- Common problems and troubleshooting
- Continued hard starting or loss of power: check for air leaks at hoses or fittings and ensure filter is not clogged.
- Leaks at fittings: tighten with flare‑nut wrench and replace crush washers if necessary.
- No fuel flow: verify pump orientation, damaged internal diaphragm (if new pump is faulty replace it), or blocked lines.

- Why some extra/professional tools may be required
- Torque wrench: prevents over‑ or under‑tightening; recommended for proper sealing.
- Fuel line quick‑disconnect tool: required if your model uses quick‑disconnect fittings; it disengages the retaining clip without damage.
- Injection pump timing tools: if the high‑pressure injection pump is removed/adjusted, timing tools and calibration equipment are required — this is why injection pump service is best left to specialists.
- Bench vise and gear puller (rare): only if the old pump is stuck on studs; use carefully to avoid damage.

- Final checks and cleanup
- Tighten all fasteners to spec where possible; replace any corroded bolts.
- Start engine and test drive gently, watch for leaks and odd noises.
- Dispose of used fuel and old pump according to local hazardous waste rules.
- Store tools and clean work area.

- When to call a professional
- If the pump is the high‑pressure injection pump, or if timing/calibration of the injection pump might be affected.
- If you cannot stop a leak, cannot prime air out, or the engine runs poorly after replacement.

- Quick parts reference (examples)
- OEM-style mechanical lift pump for Toyota 2B diesel (search by engine model or vehicle VIN); part numbers vary by year/model — match by old pump shape and ports.
- Fuel filter element compatible with Toyota 2B fuel system (replace while doing pump).
- Copper crush washers for diesel fuel line fittings (metric sizes — match old ones).

- Final safety reminder
- Test in a safe area, keep fire extinguisher nearby, and if anything leaks or the engine backfires, shut off immediately and fix before further use.
