Here's a 10-step walkthrough on how to take out the vanes for replacement or cleaning on a PRO20/PRO35 fuel pump.
Here's 10 steps to clean or replace the vanes inside your PRO20/PRO35 fuel pump. Remember to wear properly fitting PPE when doing this task!
- Turn off the pump and disconnect from power
- Use a 9/16" hex wrench to remove the cover plate
- Use a pair of pliers to remove the vanes (part numbers 133501-1, 133502-1) from the pump cavity.
- Use an Allen key to remove the rotor and shaft key from the pump cavity. Be sure to not drop the vanes or shaft key into the pump cavity
- Inspect the vanes and o-ring for wear, debris and damage. Replace if needed
- If there is debris, clean the pump cavity and all components with a clean cloth
- To reassemble, place the rotor, shaft key, and vanes in the cavity. Make sure the flat side of the vanes are oriented clockwise within the rotor.
- Remove the o-ring and lightly coat it with grease
- Re-insert the o-ring securely into its grooves
- Bolt the cover plate back onto the housing. Ensure there are no gaps between the cover plate and the pump housing
