You will at the very least need to replace the pump gaskets. The problem is the gaskets age and become brittle. The pressure from the pump is pretty high and it will just get worse.
Second, on my van, it's definitely not a T60 bolt. I did go out and buy a T60 bit, and it definitely isn't right. My van has an allen head bolt in there, though I am not sure of the size since my socket that fits it mysteriously doesn't say the size on it. Maybe somebody who knows the size could suggest an edit to the original post.6. remove fan (T60? bit, some sort of bar to prevent engine turning, I used a large pin driver)
The fan is not held in place by T60 bolts on our 2003-2006 Sprinters here at the yard. This tool says BMW, but it fits and we've confirmed it works: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Fan-Cl...RhyMstFUUASrpbOZXQFQuu_N93sKg3jhzwt7c5VPF8k9AFirst, I am grateful for this write-up. I hope my description below doesn't come off as entitled.
I am lost here:

Third, what kind of bar? Okay, something like a pin driver, I guess, but how large is a large pin driver? I had never heard of a pin driver. But that's not the most important thing since I could probably figure out an appropiate bar if I knew where to put it. What do I do with the bar? I mangled a small screw driver by wedging it between some of those screw heads on the pulley behind the fan. I can't imagine that's where I am supposed to put this large pin driver because I can't imagine anything small enough to go there would be strong enough.
Anyone able to fill me in on this?
