I'm in the process of cleaning up the pump on my skiff and am having trouble separating the bowl from it's flange. I've got all of the bolts out. I just want to ask if I am missing something or just fighting the gasket?
I took some pics.
The impellor has a ding but I think it appears alright otherwise..?
It's an A that has been through Don's Pump Service for one of his "blueprint" jobs. There doesn't seem to be any noticable wear problems...
I'm just stripping the paint for new and regasketing. And also dealing with the BIG RTV JOB applied by a previous owner.
Anybody got any input on the separation?
