This pump came in its original Ford Motorcraft box. It included the retaining ring and a two-sided sheet of Ford installation instructions.
The instructions call for a 1 inch 12-pointed socket and some dry lube such as graphite. The pump arrived with sufficient graphite coating on its rubber seal for installation. I was able to use a WD40 cap instead of a socket to push the spring retaining ring into place evenly, but just about any thin-wall tube, or a carefully handled screwdriver would do the trick. If you're worried about it, you could just get the 1" 12 pointed socket that the instructions call out.
Fit and operation were perfect, as-expected. I installed the pump into a brand new Motorcraft coolant and washer fluid reservoir, then installed the assembly into my 1995 F150. It is amazing how much better the washer operates with a new pump and a clean reservoir with clean fluid in it operates.
A lot of algae or algae-like precipitate was floating around the old washer fluid. It's a good idea to get some fresh washer fluid. Winters go below freezing where I live, so it was a good opportunity to put new fluid in that is good to -25F, another step towards winter preparation.
The first one still operated after 22 years, but this new one works a tad better. I replaced the first one because the reservoir needed replacement -- figured it would be good to make sure everything is first-rate.
It's the original pump! Works and fits like new. Starting with 5 stars. If it conks out early, I'll come back to downgrade the rating.
