It will have holes in it that allow the fluid that is being pressureized from the pistons in the rotating group, these holes should have a small slot cut on one side only, this is the leading edge. If you can imagine an arrow, the small slot is the tail, the opening is the head of the arrow. I believe this is for lubrication but nt 100% sure.To reverse the operating direction, you swap plates from one side to the other as each pump will have one clockwise, and one anti-clockwise one.Now the hydraulic pump, hopwfully you have a vane pump, these are very easy to reverse direction by removing the centre section, it will have an arrow cast into it. Take it out, middle vane section too, and flip it around so the arrow is in the direction of the motor rotation.Hopefully some of that makes sense, if you need more details, look up my profile and email me, i don't get on the forum as much as i used to <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
