Step 1

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug installed on the Troy-Bilt engine. Tip the pressure washer on its back using the handle.

Step 2

Pull off the chemical hose from the pump nozzle, which is on the right side as you view the pump from underneath the pressure washer.

Step 3

Use a nut driver to unscrew and remove the three mounting bolts in the flanges on the pump. The flanges are arranged in a triangular pattern. Each bolt connects through a flange with a nut. Pull the pump off the engine shaft from below.

Step 4

Slide the new pump in position on the engine shaft. The pump is pre-lubricated by the manufacturer and needs no other additional preparation.
