Was wondering your guys opinion on an issue I'm having installing my rebuilt pump on a 96 xp.
To start my thrust bearing is not pinched but when I get the pump torqued down it is binding and tight and won't turn over weird thing is the new wear ring and impeller are not that tight you can spin by hand I trouble shot and made sure I didn't have 2 rubber grommets stuck in the pto and impeller I also have been dry fitting the pump with no boots on the shaft so I have play and as soon as it's torqued you can't turn the pto but with loosing a tad it's freed again this is making me belive that the plastic pump is warping or getting tweaked and clamping down on they impeller when tightened . I did notice that when I installed the new wear ring it was egged a bit. Sorry for the long post thanks in advance any ideas?
