Reassembly:
(a) Fit the Housing Pump O-ring to the Outer Bowl.

When replacing or refitting the pump housing, a new
O-ring must be fitted.

Note: This should be done with the Pump Cap & Hood
in place, but it is not essential.

possible by hand, then use the bolts to evenly torque
the pump down.

(d) Tighten the pump bolts to a torque of 2Nm.

Note: If the bolts happen to strip when refitting the
pump housing, refer to the Pump Housing – Stripped
Pump Housing Procedure (refer to Section 11.1).
