Then I just ran them up to almost snug, and did the 4 pump bolts before tightening down the tube. I don't "think" it pinched or rolled the o ring..but I guess there's gonna only be one way to find out



10mm flex ratchet wrench was a savior getting these bolts in/out. Even with pan lowered, there isn't much room to work!
Which brace is that? Did you try at all to install the pump without removing the gears ?
