9 of 10 times someone changes the lift pump on a CM870 or CM871, it is not too longafter, the gear pump goes out. This is because the debris from the failing lift pump take its toll on the gear pump.


Also, the retaining screws for the lift pump, most of the time,.. are VERY VERY VERY difficult not to strip out, as they typically seem to be way too tight for their size. -- Use only a brand new tool that is of high quality on it,.. lots of down-pressure on it when breaking them free for the first time. Many people have reported having to remove the whole IFSM before its over with.

I just had that issue on the first , I am wondering if it is now a torque head or a Allen number 5?
