<VV> Tips and Tricks

[J R Read_HML]

Back off the locator (tapered) screw and locking nut on the outside of the 
casting - below the pump.

Disconnect (at the pump) the main line from the tank (the left one).

Lift (pull up) on the pump until it clears the housing - don't disconnect 
the lines to the carbs.

Unscrew the "T" connection to the pump by turning the pump itself.

Reverse this to install the replacement.

Don't use any Teflon anywhere.
