So it seems some play in the bearings is probably acceptable - date on the "old" pump is '07. I'm learning the hard way why maintenance records are important...
The pump came out fairly easy, but the hoses not so much, I ended up cutting them - so I'm gonna have to order some more. $60 (out of stock) at the local stealer, hopefully sunset will be half that.
At least it gave me an excuse to put in the upgraded thermostat.
