This guide shows how to remove and replace the entire pump assembly as a whole unit for the Mi-T-M gas pressure washer.
You have to remove the output assembly from the pump in order to replace the pump assembly. This requires removing many tight pipe fittings.
You will need something that is 3” tall to place underneath the pump assembly. This can be a wooden block, brick, etc. This will help brace the pump while you work on removing the fittings.
The following tools are optional, but can help with disassembly:
- 1/4” socket
- 11/16” wrench
- 3/4” wrench
- 15/16” wrench
- 1” wrench

There are two versions of the unloader assembly:
-
First image—earlier pressure washers feature an all-in-one assembly (part 8-0631) that’s easy to replace, but gave users the ability to break the pump.
-
Second image—later models use a tamper-proof, harder to remove unloader (part 8-0656), connected by a series of pipe fittings.
-
If you need to remove an all-in-one style unloader, use a large adjustable wrench to unscrew the two large Banjo bolts. This will disconnect the unloader from the pump assembly.
