Monitor carefully for fuel leaks on the hp side. I had a persistent leak after took several goes and making of a special tool to get it to seat. Very hard to get a spanner on it. I cut a ring spanner in half then slotted it for pipe so you could get a better nip on tightening with 12 points.

I was able to get a torx bit in a 7mm socket and a short extension on a stubby ratchet, just took a bit of force to break the thread locker. Got it running and let it run for a while to check for leaks then the test drive and checked again and none so far.

Mini Ratchet Bit Set 10 Piece - Kincrome Tools - Kincrome

I used new pipes on the HP side, torqued them up in 2 steps per the manual and they sealed 1st time. $55 each off the shelf.

Edit : Where did you find the pump? I thought they were vaporware these days.

Seems there’s been a covid catchup now. Everything was ‘on back order’ when I was lucky enough to find one but seem back in stock now.

Used ex territory, 116k for $95 - couldn't stump up for a new pump at the moment.

Mate, that's 6.1% of what I paid for my new one. If it goes for more than a couple of years you are way ahead.

I figured for the price i'd take the gamble, i got it from a self serve wreckers and they didn't know what to charge for it but said $95 no warranty so i was happy with that.
I'm on 267k now so i reckon it will probably outlast me.

Even if it doesn't, sounds like a winner to me. I'd do it all over again for $95.

Yeah that price is a win. Congrats
