sg1586..took your advise and polished the shaft until it was slick as "Snot on a Onion"..
as you can see in the picture..the fuel pump is not a simple snatch and grab..you have to remove the fuel cell,battery etc.....not hard just time consuming..everything is packed tight in the trunk area..
anyhow i put it back together..put everthing back in place..so far no leaks and i let it run long enough to know..tested it 5 or 6 times....even throwd the battery charger to it to juice more life in the fuel pump ( battery was running low)..still no leaks...so lets hope the gasket kits works...
