I 98% installed my new pump. Just need to get a belt and put it on.
After I did that I decided to take my expensive 12gpm pump apart to see what the hell happened to it. When I gave Bob the symptoms of my pump I told him that the main shaft wes tweeked over to one side. I thought this was the case because the belt was tweeked over when it touched the pump pulley. When I was taking the pump off I realized that the whole pump was shifted because some bolts were loose and not the shaft. Well after I took the back of the pump off I found one of the bearings in pieces inside the pump. The main shaft looked intact. I spun it and the pistons seemed to move. Is there a possibility that this pump is not a complete gonner? Is there something else I should check before buying a bearing?
I'll be calling Bob on Monday but hoping to get an answer before then so that my mind doesn't ponder over it all weekend.
