From memory then, that is all can do: My 1980 99 pumpshaft thread was left handed, metric, definately NOT 6 mm. AND definately NOT 12 mm. I think it was 8 mm, as the wrench I used was 12 or 13 mm. If the diameter of the shaft is 8 mm, then the thread is most likely 1.25 mm. (8x1.25) I made a tool from a thing they use for tightening steel cables, I am sure you know it. These consist of two threaded pieces with hooks, one left handed thread, one right handed thread. They are connected by a sort of tube with left handed thread on one end, and right handed thread in the other end. You tighten the cable by turning the middle part..... what is that called in English? Good luck, Richard.
