5. Place the new gasket from the UMP replacement kit on the new UMP so that all the holes align.
CAUTION
Gaskets from competitive UMPs will not seal properly and performance will be
reduced.
6. Pull the pigtail connector in the discharge head out far enough to see the o-ring in the sidewall of its socket
(see Figure 24). Remove the connector's o-ring from the connector's socket and discard it. Get a 0.551" ID x
0.070'' wide o-ring from the kit and lubricate it with petroleum jelly. Slide the new o-ring over the pigtail
connector and push it in the groove in the wall of the connector's socket. Lubricate the pigtail connector body
with petroleum jelly and push it back into its socket, making sure its index tab is in the socket's notch.

technique. Torque to 7 ft-lbs (11 N•m).
Do not use the bolts to pull the UMP into position. Use the cross pattern technique.
