Thanks!

I could kick myself. I had a 603 delivery pump sitting in my garage for years.. i just got rid of it a few months ago. I hate murphy's law!

I talked to a friend who runs a mercedes shop. he's going to try and source one from his friend who rebuilds the pumps. He said he wasn't surprised it snapped after being torqued that much.

I am still surprised that they had that much torque on them. I mean, I'm surprised it didn't crack the pump or something.

This isn't the first F up I've found from the previous owners mechanic. In fact I can almost guarantee if i go through the service records I'll find a work order where they describe leaking and them retightening the delivery valves. Hopefully this will be the last problem. I've had the car 4 years and it's been a great vehicle.

I already got the piece that was stuck inside the pump out.
