Any tips on how a one man show can install one. Is there a trick to compress the pump an get it tight to the housing to install the two bolts ? I can only get 90 % there . Thanks

If you rotate the engine until the eccentric is in the right place, there will be almost no tension on the pump arm.

thanks will try that , i also just did read putting studs in the housing and then slid the pump on and using nuts .That seems like a smart idea since holding the pump and getting the bolts started is the main issue.
