pump that was removed. oem original ?
width of the oem
Denso pump
Cleaned all the bolts and threads
Gasket for the pump unit was not in the best shape. Before pic. After washing and cleaning it was back to all rubber ( no pic ) but I will replace it at some point. Havent looked into oem or options just yet but I believe I have read options are out there.
All set up and ready for install. I used the plastic clamps that came with the pumps. I know everyone says use the steel but ive never had an issue (ive only done 4 -5 pumps or so over the years) but never had it come apart. I think some people over tighten them which stresses the plastic and eventually can lead to failure. I zip tied the strainers to mimic the oem setup as both were the same part # Denso units.
