Dear jd620,

Hope you're well and stay so!!! I use an hydraulic bottle jack and a short length of 1" x 2" lumber (the board) cut to length. I use gasket adhesive to secure the gasket to the pump. I then emplace the pump, using the bolts through the oblong holes. I snug, but don't tighten those bolts.

I then position the jack and the board, so that one end of the board is flat against the pump's bottom. I then use the jack very, very slowly to raise the pump, until I can start the bolts, that go through the round holes.

This method frees-up both hands, so I can use one to keep the pump pressed against the block while I get all of the bolts into position and tightened.

Water pump installation is most easily done by a human with three or four arms!!!!

Hope this helps,

Yours faithfully,

Spook
