So here's a quick update - Did I mention I hate spending money? Bought this kit from Amazon - Edelman O Ring Kit
The pump is fully disassembled and cleaned. I started to put it back together last night, plan to finish it today. I bought both of the hoses, Pressure Hose and Return Hose, those were both installed last night, for some reason the Pressure hose is not oriented correctly, need to fix that. Oh, and getting the old hoses out was high on the difficulty meter. I never owned Crow Foot wrenches, so I bought a set. Borrowed my neighbors 1/2 inch drive stuff, he has everything you ever need. the Pressure hose came out easier, but we had to heat up the Return fitting, then we took a tubing cutter and cut the line so we could fit a socket over it, had to hammer the socket on because the fitting nut had become deformed, Really had to crank on it, but it finally loosened.
The pump itself is extremely simple to mess around with, comes apart neatly and I'm assuming it will go back together the same. I cleaned up everything, hard to understand even why it failed, hoping that the little fins were gummed up and not sliding. I cleaned and painted the housing. Putting the full unit back together, the way the alternator fits with it on the same brackets will be a pain, but I've got some beers to work with.
