Pumps vary widely in pricing on Ebay . Larry at Modern Parts is a brick and mortar actual parts store; buying one there too helps keep a great parts house open.

Here's the new pump
Which I won't be installing today as I nurse an awful hangover.

NEW WH WASHER PUMP
That is an after market water pump hopefully it will work OK. Be sure to lubricate the pump bearing before use and be very careful not to over tighten the thumb screw that holds the cover on the pump as the cover can crack very easily. Good Luck.

It looks exactly like the original one on there, but not nearly as heavy duty plastic....perhaps the original is Bakelite. Anywho, where do I lubricate it before I install it? I'm hoping to be able to figure out how to remove the old one and install the new one easily.

Success?
I got the new pump in, but the drive shaft spring thing is making a noise like it's hitting against the motor housing. I tried adjusting it and this is as quiet as I could get it. Any tips anyone? The link below is to a vid of it.
