Glad it worked

While the pump is out, its worth washing a good 10L of fresh water through the system

Just done mine yesterday morning - a gentle tap with a hammer - mine needed a block of wood and a pounding with a 5lb lump hammer to shift it!!!

Don't forget to clean the face of the block before fitting the new pump and a little smear of grease is a good idea
