Got the old pump off and new one on. I just need to drop the engine and wrap it all up. The job went about as expected -very time consuming. The biggest problem I had was scraping the old gasket material off. Everything is tough to get at, so I have some pretty sore knuckles. One problem I had was when I was turning off one of the wp nuts, the stud pulled off with it. I can't figure how to tighten the stud into the front cover before putting the nut on. I got it as close as I could with vise grips but could not snug it as I would destroy the threads. I hope it holds. Its a little scary when lifting the engine- lots of creeking and the exhaust looks a little distorted. I carefully placed 3 pump jacks and blocks of wood to get the proper load distribution and lift. THis was easier than expected- Hopefully, it goes together just as smoothly. We'll see tomorrow.
