Automatic Transmission Band Ajustment

Q: ok cant get the bypass tube out of the old water pump to put into the new one. tried heat - no joy. yeah that was a bitch on a friends 98 ram too. its pressed in with an o-ring. id try a pipe wrench on it try and get it to turn inside the pump to break loose the corrosion thats holding it in place. its too late now but there are aftermarket pumps available with a threaded hold for a threaded hose nipple which eliminates both the problem of re-using the old tube and the very good possibility of a leak when re-installing it. if the old pump is out and its trash anyway you could try splitting the neck where the tube presses in with a dremel. be careful not to cut too deep that you damage the tube. at worst case a new bypass tube is $10 from napa part# 6601692. dont drive yourself crazy... .

on sun 1 oct 2006 114525 -0700 john kunkel nobody@nowhere.net wrote not always so the only time a torque wrench reading is accurate is when the fastener is moving. it takes more torque to get a stalled fastener moving than the actual torque when it stopped. iow if the desired torque on a fastener is 60 ft. lbs. and the fastener is actually torqued to 55 ft. lbs it might take 65+ ft. lbs. of torque to get the fastener moving again. therefore if the fastener doesnt move after applying a torque of 60 ft. lbs. it doesnt verify that the desired torque had previously been reached or exceeded. excellent point - that has never occurred to me. i guess to be sure it would be best to loosen them somewhat and get a running start to the proper torque. .
