C250 flush pump fitting

[Bill.D]

Hi all, just fitted the drain mod which was straight forward but needed to remove pump as hose in top connection had come off.
Now I think I am pretty handy with all things mechanical but can I get the ****** thing back in. I guess it is getting the pipes/wires that go past the pump up into the pump aperture in the right place. It is probably one of those jobs that you can spend ages on taking the skin of you knuckles and then suddenly pops in and you don't know what you did to make it happen.
Any tips guys?

Hi Bill
Just like you I've just successfully fitted my Bog-Mod at the weekend. I've now got a stiff neck and sore knees fitting it.... but boy am I glad I perserved, as I got at least a cupful of toilet flush from the pump.

Hi Bill
Have you seen this thread. Some useful notes from Watson John G

Thanks for the replies, however these did not actually answer my question which was concerning fitting the pump not the drain mod (this was a straightford exercise).
It just so happens that I also had a leak from the top connection on the pump so needed to remove it, which was easy enough but my problem is difficulty of getting it to click back in place. After several minutes of standing on my head and sore fingers I gave up for the time being. I dare say I will try again and it will just plop in.I guess there must be a specific way that the tube and wires that run up along side it have to go so that they don't get in the way. Anyone know where the tube runs (front/back/side ? of pump)
Thanks all

Pan side of pump locating clips each side.(ie as you hold pump to push up pipe away from you)
