What does this mean exactly? There were three nuts with washer to remove, rather than a solid bolt. The posts themselves seemed to be part of the IP.

The gasket was a pretty standard paper gasket. I was pretty tidy about removing the previous one. Can't remember the position of the roller but I did have to apply some pressure to get the pump back on. I was super wary of cracking a flange ear so made sure to tighten each nut a bit at a time. The washers are still there, but seems I need to get the nuts a little tighter?
