You must fully remove this bolt to enable it to slide off the shaft. You will need to remove all 4 bolts on the cover on the top of the pump that hold the seal. You will need to replace the shaft seal and you will also need to replace the square O ring that seals the plate. It can all be done without disturbing the inside of the pump.Slightly off topic, but here is a picture of the gland nut from the tilt ram, i had a little trouble removing it!!! ended up needing to use an air chisel and oxy torch. I was lucky enough to still have a piece of alloy that i was able to machine a new one out of, worked out pretty well. Some how the thread picked up and it refused to move. I had a 10' bar holding the body of the ram, i then used a LARGE pipe wrench with a 6' pipe and it still refused to move much more than a few mm every try. Out came the air chisel and it would move slightly every try.<img src="http://users.tpg.com.au/tazza_/100_0037.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Higher rez pic: <a href="http://users.tpg.com.au/tazza_/100_0037.jpg" target="_blank">http://users.tpg.com.au/tazza_/100_0037.jpg</a></blockquote>
