[V8] Unrelated note...

[Seamus O'Carey]

So has anyone else ever pulled apart one of these pumps?  I've gotten about
halfway through and can't figure out how to disassemble it any further.

In the kit there is one large o-ring, 8 medium large o-rings, 6-medium
o-rings, and 2 small o-rings, as well as a round seal in a little box.

As soon as I pulled the two halves apart it was apparent where the single
large o-ring and the 6 medium o-rings were supposed to go.  Then I found two
screws toward the front of the pump that each had a small o-ring, so I
figured out where those go.  That leaves me with the seal, which I figure is
probably for the pulley shaft, and the 8 medium-large o-rings.

The part I can't figure out is where those remaining 8 rings go, and how to
pull the shaft out of the pump to replace its seal.

Something else that is concerning me is that I noticed a sticker from ZF
Industries, Inc., on this pump that says "REMANUFACTURED", and all of the
seals I've found so far still look pretty good.  They're all squishy and
round still.  So I have to wonder why this pump was still leaking like a
sieve, and if it's worth it to try to rebuild it again.  It might have a
bigger problem that can't be fixed with a simple rebuild.  I still want to
take it apart partly out of curiosity and so I can know what I'm getting
into if/when I decide to do this in the future, so if you have any
suggestions please let me know.

I'll post the pics I have so far soon.
