<VV> Re: Time to Replace pump

[Frank DuVal]

I said the half hour if EVERYTHING goes wrong! .

This would include finding the lost flare nut wrenches and teflon tape. 
Also mounting the brass tee in a vise when the nipple is really stuck in 
the pump and the method below fails.

Yes, 10 mins normally and that includes getting the new pump off the shelf.
