Title: Pas pump removal
Post by: Webby the Bear on 26 December 2019, 12:45:23: Evening gays. I mean guys ;D merry Christmas and may a thousand camel fleas infest your arse hole :y

I have had a small leak of PAS fluid for a while. Been topping up every fortnight roughly. Anyway I found the little bugger. There’s a small leak from the back of the pump. I’ve already changed the hose from pump to reservoir.

So when I can be bothered I’ve got a new REMY pump to fit. My question is this...

The big nut on top of the pump. I can’t get my eyeballs on it. Is it likely that when I loosen this it could be frozen to the line (thinking like brake pipe fittings do). And should I be using ptfe tape or loctite on refitting???

Post by: Webby the Bear on 27 December 2019, 18:22:14: Looking at the new pump it’s just a threaded hole so I’m assuming the line going in will be some sort of tapered / compression type fitting so unless I see anything to the contrary (i.e. remnants of loctite or ptfe) I shall just screw it in and call it done 👍
