That's kind of what drove me toward a replace versus repair option on the pump itself; taking the pump apart to weld repair the casting (a crack at the seam of a casting, which I could chase forever) and then trying to reassemble it just didn't seem like an effective option.

I'm going to pull the pump off tonight (to Chuck's point, for educational purposes with no risk if something goes wrong), I think that will tell me what I need to know about the difficulty in putting a new one back on.
