Hi guys,

The pump on my Silvia is loose, and is making excessive vibrating noises when used. I am going to check to see if the bolts holding it on are loose, or if the pump has broken the mounts.

I don't want to start undoing everything to get a look at it, and am wondering if anyone knows what part of the machine exterior to take off to check it out?

Thanks Danny

remove top tray (4 screws)
loosen ( not need to remove) 2 top screws
loosen as well the lower back screw (you might need a Phillips longer then usual)
then tilt bottom back out to disengage the bottom them pull out casing
after that remove divider with 2 screws and you have full view of the pump
