Drain fluid,remove inner wheel arch cover, support box and remove mount bolts on box, lower box to allow access to side cover. Remove 3 bolts with cover hold down tabs and carefully pry out cover. Remove 4 bolts from the Pitot chamber. Do NOT attempt to pull off at this point. Undo the bolt at about the 5 O'clock position, this has the pitot tube bracket on. Remove the bolt and pitot tube at the same time as the chamber. Remove the other bolts including the pitot chambers fill tube. The pump should then pull out tap in with rubber hammer and it will pop back as you pull. Remove the spring cone washer. Now buy a 12 point socket to fit the primary shaft. It's 41 mm or 46mm (both are needed on the CVT but can't remember which is which). This will have to be impact driven off as the shaft turns. Next you need another special tool to remove the bearing. This is why I put the website of FATE on my last post. Fit new bearing and reassemble taking extra care on fitting the cover without damaging the seal. Fit the cover to line up with marks left by the hold down tabs as there are 4 raised edges on the cover which can get in the way.
