# How to Clean or Replace Bypass Poppet On A GPI EZ-8 Pump
## Cleaning and/or replacing a bypass poppet on a GPI EZ-8 Fuel Transfer Pump is simple. Here's how to do it.
When it is time to clean or replace a bypass poppet in your EZ-8 Fuel Transfer Pump, this step-by-step list or the video above will get you through the task. *Remember to wear properly fitting PPE when doing this task!*
1. Turn off the pump and disconnect from power
2. Use a 7/16" hex wrench to remove the cover plate
3. Remove the gears from the pump cavity
4. Push down on the poppet until the o-ring is exposed, then remove the o-ring with a small screw driver and inspect it for wear, swollenness, damage and proper fitting
5. Use needle nose pliers to pull out the poppet and spring from the bypass cavity. Inspect those parts for wear, debris or damage
6. To reassemble, place the poppet in the spring, then place them both in the poppet cavity in the top of the pump
7. Compress the poppet into the housing until it is in the lower chamber, then slip the o-ring over the poppet head. Make sure o-ring is well seated
