thoroughly. After cleaning, remove plugs and drain any
oil out of the pump.
2. Use a marker to make a diagonal line across the
front thrust plate, body and rear flange for assembly pur-
poses (Fig. 23.2).
IMPORTANT: Prevent damage when clamping the
gear pump in a vise; clamp on the front thrust plate
only. Also, use a vise with soft jaws.

jaws with the shaft end down.
4. Loosen, but do not remove, screws that secure rear
flange to pump.

that the shaft end is facing down. Remove screws.
6. Carefully lift rear flange from body.
7. Carefully remove body. Lift body straight up to re-
move. Make sure the rear thrust plate remains on the
drive and idler gear shafts. Locate and retrieve dowel
pins.
