While not needed for getting things apart right now, this is something I want to address before I start putting the bottom of my apron back together. When I went to remove the sump on my apron, at first I couldn't get it off because of the ELSR control rod. So, I got it out of the way. Then I pulled the 6 screws holding the apron sump in place and went to lower it down only to find that it wouldn't come down all the way. Either the elbow fitting for the pump is too close to the ELSR apron gear box or part EE3797, the bushing that the gear rides in and contains the rod wiper, extends too far to the left. Or, they designed it so the apron can't be removed without removing the gearbox first, which doesn't make sense. Is this normal?
I had to drill the taper pins on mine to get them to drive out, but new #4 taper pins are on their way and should be here this coming week.
I'm considering removing a little material off the end of part EE3797. It doesn't look like much is needed to get it to clear. The alternatives would be to modify the fitting, if it can be done, or to relieve the sump itself, which I don't really want to do.
