Glad it came off OK.
I do not know which came first the front mounted or side mounted pumps but I agree that the front mounted is a very poor design caused by having to fit the pump into too little space. Adjusting the gland nut is awkward at best and normal gland leakage drips onto the vibration damper rusting the internals and locking it up.
My cars now have modern sealed bearings and modern ceramic faced seals which are now working fine with zero leakage.
