I figured either my ancient torque wrench undertorqued it, or it got damaged when the gear puller launched it across the garage. I pulled it out and tested with a brand shiny new torque wrench and it was all good. So something must be damaged that I don't notice. Either way, I don't want to drain and pull it again. The price at partsouq makes it tolerable to just plunk down the cash and go with it.I'm curious, @gixxerjasen, what happened with the torque wrench that made you have to order a new gear?
Partsouq is great, shipping can get pricey but it gets here quick. No idea how parts get from UAE to the US in like 2 days, while getting domestic mail takes a week...Wow, that gear in the US is about $140 and its only $80 from Partsouq... I wasn't going to spend $140 just to be safe, but might do it for $80.

Yeah, I have found they have great prices for small, light parts. But big or heavy parts not so much.So they are a great place to buy the gear, but a terrible price on the pump itself... Weird.
This comment has had me worried for a long time.When I had a shop do this on mine, turned out that the new pump itself was making the "takka takka" sound. They swapped in a new new pump and the sound went away.
Currently shopping for PS pump for my '91.
Any experienced recommendations for upgrades and/or reliable sources?
Nice work! I wish I‘d done it myself in the end. For what it’s worth mine’s been fine since replaced last summer.This comment has had me worried for a long time.
Ugh, took a long holiday weekend for me to finally have the stars align and there be decent weather and no unexpected things that needed taken care of and plans from the wife. I mean, I DID have to pull and replace a broken fence post this weekend, but still. I got the gear on, found a trick with the wits end gear holder. I put a couple of wide rubber bands around the gear before putting it in the holder and I was able to torque it correctly without it spinning in the holder. I just got everything put back together, got my son to disconnect from the online video games and come help with the bleeding process. Fired it up and there's NO takka takka takka. Woohoo. So glad to be finally putting this behind me. Tomorrow I'll do another bleeding process just to be sure, clean up the engine bay better than it is, and finally take her off the jack stands and go for a drive.
