It is a little more fun with the 1.9, I understand.  One thing is good to
know.  Opening the bolts on the pump pulley, I use an old belt and let it
get jammed between the main pulley and itself to get tighter as you turn the
pulley.  It works for opening and closing too.
Otherwise it is only time and not money that it takes.  Sure the pump costs
some.
