Thank you for your reply, I'm definetly going with either the rebuild kit for the Grocco or just get a whole new Grooco HF to go in there. I've found one for a little over $100, If the rebuild starts getting close to that I may just replace it. I just about finished intalling the manual pump out today. Thanks Brandon
