Rather than follow the published procedure, I'm trying this shortcut to inspect/repair the pump stay arm without any extra disassembly. If it doesn't work, I'll just do it right. So far, I've removed the front output yoke (1 1/4") and all the casehalf bolts (T50). I also vacuumed the front output seal to remove all the loose dirt before it fell in on the bearing, and polished the mating surface on the yoke so it can re-seal later.
