Unfortunately I left the broken nipple at Russell Kowaliga because I had to order the part(s). I ordered 2 since I figured if one broke the other would too.

Turns out what you have to do is take the drive plate off, which apparently is a bear. Gotta take the jet pump off, unbolt it, melt the sealant with a heat gun, use a barrel jack to pry the plate off. Once off these things (plastic) screw into the drive plate. The coolant hoses clamp onto them.

Then ya gotta seal it up, install the drive plate, etc. etc.

I know what needs to be done just too much for me I think.

I appreciate your offer of help but I had to return to Birmingham for the day Thursday. Was thinking of returning to the lake on Fri. I guess I am over a barrel and will take the thing to Russell Kowaliga.
