1330 Turn on He-3 pump.
1530 Drained oil from He-3 pump.
1645 Disassembled still line, V6, and oil mist filter from He-3 pump.
1900 Attempted to clean/maybe replace internal de-mister but the quality of the gasket is questionable and we currently don't have a replacement. Replaced the one screw that was removed.
Going to change gasket/seal instead. Removed 4 hex screws from back of He-3 pump. Separated motor+intermediate panel from oil container.
2359 Have removed all parts but the bushing from the interior of the pump. Not sure how to remove the bushing yet. Additionally, the shaft seal is incredibly hard to peel out of the centering disk. Not sure if this is the reason for our leak. Actually, the leak problem has not been made apparent yet through the disassembly.
