Hi Topher,

Howard's advice is spot-on, as usual; I wanted to add that once you have supported the engine with some wood and a jack, and taken the weight off the mount, you can remove the 2 bolts inside the metal 'cup' that sandwiches the rubber cushions together (and attaches the mount to the motor), and then lift the engine a 1/4" or so more, to really get good access to the pump. This will also help with cleaning the gasket surface area, lining up the new gasket and ensuring the pump seats fairly. Chris
