Right, you didn't say what you pried against to remove the pump...BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE. Fools are going to be breaking off the direct drum (front doohickey) lugs. Most pumps won't come out that way anyways. You have to oil around the pump; like with some WD40 or Land-O-Lakes; who cares...but dry is a fight. I don't even like the stuff you're using to clean them up...Easy-Off baby! I'll be watching; ready to pounce with more technical blue bla.. Oh, and when you go to the car wash, pull forward so you can set your parts over the center grate; it keeps the car wash guys happy; so they might not kick you out. And tell them that you're using non-petroleum based, water soluble EPA approved biodegradable cleaner....that's what I had to tell my SoCal car wash owner in order to get him to let me stay..foreelz.

So first of all I want people to either go to the thread you have on this and follow all of your advice or to temporarily Skip by your comments because you're making stuff up that I don't even know what you're talking about and again I'm trying to unconfuse this process not make it more confusing so what you're talking about literally irrelevant and soon I'm going to ask toolmanMike to dial you back so I can go ahead and do this process if you have something at the end at it but I didn't pray against anything to get the pump out if that clarifies something for you...
It's a trick I learned from watching a professional build one of these and when he was taking it apart he literally said you rookies and pop the pump out instantaneously. So if you want to do it the rookie way like you do it go ahead you can show people the rookie way but I rewatched and rewatched that video until I finally figured out with a slight of hand what he did and that's what I'm showing pop the pump out extremely quickly without doing any damage to anything....
