Let me know if you hoop any parts, I have a spare 231. I stole the front main seal and the pump out of it, but everything else is there.

That pump pickup is a PITA until you figure out the trick. Slide the pump all the way down the shaft and into position first, then use a pick/small screw driver to pull the pickup back and slide it into the pump. Cracked off the side of the pump pickup the first time I tried to do this and didn't have the pump all the way down the shaft.

The worst part of rebuilding these are those $#@*&ing snap rings. I'd like to severely beat whoever had the bright idea to use those lovely things. I found needlenose pliers work better then the proper snapring pliers. Go figure.



Oh and DONT HAMMER ON ANYTHING. That's all cast aluminum and takes very little to fubar. There are designated pry areas on both the output housing and case halfs. If you're still having trouble twist the prybar/screw driver but don't beat on anything. Same deal with putting it back together, just jiggle it around with your hands don't tap on anything.
