Go thru the side. A pain to see, but easier than messing with the top (imo).

5/32 allen head is what you are looking for. A light and a mirror will be a great help.

I've always taken the top off. Never could figure out how to get at it from the side... Just make damn sure you get it back together the same as it was when you pulled it apart, I got a spring wrong and had to shut the truck down with a Carhart in the intake. SCARY!

Yeah, I went through the top when I do mine. Just got to be sure to make sure your fuel shutoff is back together correctly. I actually had my old injection pump eat my governor spring. I put it in wrong. Surprisingly it didnt do damage. Fished out all the shaving with a magnet. Here's a fun fact. We dug through some pens until we found the longest stiffest one we could and replaced it back in there. It gave it a 3700rpm fuel shutoff. Worked just fine until I could get it rebuilt. The average pen saved the day!!
