Did my changeout project today. Noticed the nuts securing the terminals to the motor and trombetta on the new pump were all loose. Loosened nuts holding the cables enough to get 1/2 wrench on them then snug the cable nuts down.
Everything matched. Mounting holes, switch mounting holes, hose connections, and wiring. Nothing had to be added or removed. Re-used the hose adapters, O-Rings were good. Had to remove hose from adapter then adapter from pump with 9/16. Then removed pump mounting nuts/bolts 7/16 and switch bracket screws 1/4.
Poured ATF into the reservoir and it ran beautifully. Purged itself right away.
Trailer was high enough to be able to almost sit by the pump. Grimy oily job since it had been leaking for years trapping dirt and leaves in the leaked ATF.
For all this, I earned a country club buffet breakfast with omelets to order, a shower, deli lunch and some hugs. A very good day.
This thread was very encouraging getting me started. Thanks! I appreciate it!
