Wear Ring Job 200 Speedster-What else to change while it's open??

4-TEC pumps....
You'll not smell any stinky oil from these pumps. They are filled with grease. This job is a bit more detailed than the older 2 strokers. The impeller tool and bearing pusher will need to be ordered. The impeller tool from the 2 Strokes will not work.
I highly recommend reading through the "propulsion" chapter of the manual before you tackle this job. Outside of the tools mentioned above, you'll also need to order the synthetic grease.
These pumps are high torque pumps. The older axial flow impeller/pumps were basically the same from the 587 thru the 951, just a change in the impellers pitch. With the higher torque 4-TEC's, they re-designed this pump.
Maybe someone who has tackled this job before will chime in. All my river rat friends that I"ve had come in for me to rebuild pumps still use the 2-strokers so I've never had the pleasure yet of working on one of these pumps.:cheers:

OK, got er open
I'm following the manual downloaded for the 05 Challenger 4tec sc(didnt see an o5 Speedster) which should be basically the same for a wear ring change.
Heres what Ive found so far:
The reverse gate has one cable not 2
You need to remove the steering cable from the nozzle to drop it not just remove the cotterpin and push the bushing up.
You need to take the reverse cable off the gate to drop it as well
The 8 Allen head bolts that hold the Steering nozzle/reverse gate frame were everything but easy to get out-If these weren't top quality SS they would have broken as they were flexing and 2 even stripped the hex and I needed a outside dia easyout to get them out-THESE SHOULD BE REPLACED ON A REBUILD OF THE PUMP! Craftsman makes a head removal tool that made this job doable! I tried heating things with a torch but no good-the tightness appears to be from dissimiliar metals oxidizing in tight clearences.
After I removed the cone on the pump-there isnt a circlip in there as the 05 Challenger TEC4 SC shop manual shows-the parts breakout on the PARTS link of this site verifies that the 05 speedster 4tec sc doesnt have the clip either.
More to come as I did deeper.
