CAUTION
The larger o-rings on either end of the gear pump differ in size. The longer o-ring goes to the side facing the cam housing.
Install new o-rings.
Apply Lubriplate™ 105, or equivalent, to the o-rings to keep them from falling out during assembly.
Previous Next
Install the drive coupling.
Center the coupling in the shaft.
Previous Next
Align the gear pump shaft with drive the coupling and install the gear pump module.
