It braked OK but didn't try abs function.
Not sure I want to do that on the road.
I did braided lines a while ago.
Fluid is good. |

Sure Al,
You can put the drive clog into the block if that's easier for you.
If you get stuck PM me. I made a cell phone video in case I ever need to do this again.
Did you end up replacing ... |

Initially from kpartsholland but even though it said new on invoice, it wasn't.

Got new one from Motorworks. |

Fitted a new pump shaft.
Stiil on the bench until I clean off block.

Or simply pump water through it - opposite direction maybe?? -
to check blockage
or to flush it out?? |

Seems the bearing is shot.
Took it for a fast run to get it hot.
Checked the wheel and I could feel the rattle. |
