Mike - The washer pump screws into a threaded plastic grommet that is pressed into the reservoir. Was your challenge in getting the grommet installed, or in screwing in the pump? For simple pump replacement, the grommet doesn't need to be removed, so the wires and the small clear tube should be removed from the pump. Then, you unscrew the pump, put the new one back in, screw it snug, and replace the wires and the tube. I'm not sure where or why you were having to force anything together. A few more details on how you were doing this would be helpful.

When Rich and I did his it was a real pain to remove the old pump from the bottle and putting the new one in was even more difficult. Anyone have any tips or tell us what we were doing wrong? We were just using dish soap around the edge of the new pump motor and forcing it back into the opening and it was a real bear to get back in. In fact we snapped part of Rich's pump but it works fine now... > > Mike C > 2109 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
