6. Remove front plate from the body, then remove back
plate. Locate and remove dowel pins from body.

teeth and bearing blocks so they can be assembled
in the same position. Do not touch the gear surfaces
as residue on hands may be corrosive to gear finish.
7. Place pump on its side and push on the rear bearing
block to remove bearing blocks and gear set from the
pump body.
NOTE: Pressure seals and back--up rings fit in grooves
machined into bearing blocks. O--rings fit in grooves ma-
chined in the pump body.

seals and back--up rings from pump body and bearing
blocks. Do not cause any damage to the machined
grooves during the removal process.

Inspection (Fig. 126)
CAUTION
Use eye protection such as goggles when using
compressed air.
1. Clean all pump parts with solvent. Dry all parts with
compressed air.
2. Inspect drive gear, idler gear and bearing blocks for
the following. If damage is found, pump replacement is
necessary.
A. Gear shafts should be free of rough surfaces and
excessive wear at bushing points and sealing areas.
Scoring, rough surfaces or wear on gear shafts indi-
cates need for replacement.

B. Gear teeth should be free of excessive scoring
and wear. Any broken or nicked gear teeth must be
replaced.
C. Inspect gear face edge for sharpness. Sharp
edges of gears will mill into bearing blocks and, thus,
must be replaced.
D. Bearing areas of bearing blocks should not have
excessive wear or scoring.
E. Face of bearing blocks that are in contact with
gears should be free of wear, roughness or scoring.
3. Inspect front plate and back plate for damage or
