Inlet barb fell out of my oil pump

[robhayward]

Anyone know if I can press it back in or just order a new pump? 2012 800 RMK

This is the main oil feed line, the brass connector (90) fell out and is still in the hose hanging below. Oh yeah my garage is a skating rink...

I,ve put brass inserts back in before, just cleaned it up and used loctite sleeve retainer, was on a water jacket tho, not so critical.

Wasn't there a recall on that line (for rubbing) i would call the dealer and see what they say

I remember the recall on my 2011 where they zip tied it so it didn't rub. In this case the brass connector fell out, the hose did not rub through....

I was told to turn the fitting in the pump on my 2012 so the hose didn't rub. Not saying that was right just what i was told how many miles on yours?

640 miles 'ish. I can turn it easy enough now. Also the best tip ever, drill out 10 rivets and peel back the bottom pan to access. You can see how easy this will be now. I was worried about the time it takes to pull the engine....

How long did it run with out oil I would pull the whole motor apart and inspect it. It gets expensive fast if it piles and parts come out the bottom end.
