Absolutely, Howard. I plan to do a complete examination of the old pump and I promise lots of pictures so others may spot what I will probably miss. And you're right about the Vendor. I especially want to know about the last bit as I will have to get a modern rebuild kit for the new pump before I do any driving other than to see how it performs.

And yes about rebuild process. I have not all that fond of memories of trying to assemble the pump in the manner you describe. So it's entirely possible that I'm the one responsible for any trouble I find. Wiser folks than I will hopefully be able to judge what went wrong from the pictures. THIS time, I'm going to get someone to help me put the pumps together. Another set of hands would make the job a lot easier. I thought about using a vise the last time but was afraid of doing more damage than good as I'm sure the pumps were never meant to be squeezed.
