[QUOTE="jasper60103, post: 310811, member: 1810"] I tilt the leg up when I do mine. Apply some molly lube or white lithium grease to the splines of the drive shaft (sides only, not the top). Install the rubber O-ring in the groove just below the drive shaft splines. Apply some oil on the end of the water tube & rubber grommet. Also, have plenty of light available so you can see as the water tube approaches the pump, and don't force it. Be sure to apply some gasket sealant to all screws/bolts. Good call on ordering the complete water pump kit. It takes the same amount work/time as installing only the impeller. While you're waiting on the mail, you can do a few practice runs. Let us know if you run into any snags. [/QUOTE]
