I let Hinckley do the work.

() I stayed out of the installation. When I was looking at it before he installed it the mechanic told me to be careful and not to touch the mating surface so I guess he knows what he's doing.
I'll put more tension on it and see what happens. The tube is almost 5 feet under water. Thats quite a bit of pressure.

- Damn! Does a dripless leak when new?
- No it shouldn't drip at all
- You sure the mating surfaces weren't scratched or gouged during install?
- Yes, just installed one and it leaked.
- You do have a vibration isolator on the shaft?
