No fuel pump prime... advice please

Apply a Small lever under the nut as you turn it, a small screwdriver should do it. Gently is the key as it doesn’t take much to bugger things up.

The lever should allow the nut to find good thread to bite.

As has been suggested. Once you get the nuts off, examine the studs. They are likely to have some good thread near the top, so you can pack the stud with washers so the nut tightens on a good portion of the stud thread. Gently, try not to use either a socket ratchet handle or spanner as this will apply too much torque and likely Snap a stud or strip a thread. Hand tight only, using a socket on a screwdriver handle if you have one, to minimise the torque force.

Good luck.

P.S.
The part number for the fuel pump 16141341231. If you do a google search you will find loads of them, and they’re not expensive either.
 
Steptoe nails another issue first time!

A new Audi car pump for £30-£35 sounds like a steal, then just the studs to sort.
 
Don;t forget to order a Fuel filter Mahle KL145 and 16141341008 the Big O ring for the pump flange they usually swell once they are in the air
 
I have a tank if you’re interested. Tarts handbag blue & white colour scheme, couple very very small dents but all the studs are in place- sent you a pm :thumb
