The Bentley for the '89-91 100/200 has the most thorough description of the
pump resealing process.  I'd assume the Bentley for your car would have it
too.  One tip someone else here posted:  The pump is pretty hard to grip in
a vise because it doesn't have any parallel flat surfaces, but if you put
the banjo bolts in, you have someting to clamp in  the vise without
threatening the pump body itself.
