Crystal 2 water pump

[NigelFR]

Hi everyone I have a Bailey Ranger 5 which has a Truma Crystal 2 submersible pump. It attaches to the van and is kept in place by 2 clips. I have broken 1 off (bottom 1). How can I fix it. I believe that it has been updated, although I have found replacement clips ?
TIA Nigel

Welcome along.

The "clips" have a cylindrical swivel base which just pushes into the holes on either side. If you can grip the stump with some pliers or something, they should come out with a bit of a pull and a wiggle.
Alternatively, you may be able to screw in a self-tapper a few turns to aid in extraction.

A bit of silicon grease on the new ones wouldn't go amiss.
Good luck!

If you enter into ebay 'truma crystal clips' possible replacements appear as the first listing. As for getting the 'stub' of the old one out, hopefully you can get a hold of the tail end with fine nose pliers, otherwise is there room to drill a fine hole into the centre, aruldite a wire into the hole then use this to pull out the stub?

If the clips are like these: https://www.caravantech-shop.co.uk/products/spares-water--gas-electric-etc/truma-crystal-inlet-spares/truma-crystal-2-sercurity-clip-pair#.XShP6PZFyUk

Just use a small screwdriver and push the broken bits out of the back of the fitting, the new ones just push in.
