fuel pump removal

[FMS88]

You shouldn't have to remove the carb. (If you do, yes, drain a gallon of coolant first.) If you've turned the engine so the fuel pump arm is on the back of its cam lobe and it still won't come out, try removing one or both mounting studs for the fuel pump using the double nut method.

the cam lobe is on its lowest point, the fp arm is completely not touching the cam for at least 1/2" free playing ...

double nut to remove the two fp installation studs installed on the engine manifold ? that could work if they come out ...

can't see them studs base, if they are square welded/pressed inserts, or if they are threaded to the manifold itself ...

the fp is on the way to have a clear view, still on the two studs, barely 1/2" out of the manifold spacer towards the driver side direction ...
