Item 59: Fluid Pump Assembly Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the fluid pump.
- Using the special tool, align the fluid pump to the adapter plate.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the fluid pump inlet thrust washer (No. 1), selective thrust washer, fluid pump gasket and the fluid pump-to-case 0-ring seal remain in the correct position throughout this step.
CAUTION:
The special tools must be used to correctly align the pump with the adapter plate to reduce gear noise, bushing failure and leakage.
