[QUOTE="mygoggie, post: 989111, member: 18916"] After stripping out the electrical switchgear panel, I moved onto getting the coolant pump out. Low and behold it was secured to the chassis with only one very loose cap screw. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/3x1v9YVf/IMG_20200508_212519.jpg[/IMG] The ID tag of the pump for anyone interested. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/d0n0cMXS/IMG_20200508_212516.jpg[/IMG] Onto cleaning the sump. Why is there only oil in there??? [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/yNrS4nVF/IMG_20200508_212521.jpg[/IMG] Fortunately I love woodworking by hand so I had a BIG pile of shavings available. This is the best method to soak up oil. So into the sump went two giant handfulls of shavings. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/LssZbGM9/IMG_20200509_094756.jpg[/IMG] I let it soak overnight and in the morning simply removed the shavings. Excellent natural fire starter these shavings! [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/4yYPRmk3/IMG-20200511-100730.jpg[/IMG] A closer look for anyone that has never done this before. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/ydQjG0G5/IMG-20200511-100724.jpg[/IMG] The sump after wiping with another handful or ten of shavings. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/GpjqkWxb/IMG-20200511-101018.jpg[/IMG] And cleaned with some turpentine and rags. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/G2hzzXXG/IMG-20200511-101022.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
