I just replaced my complete water pump (plastic style) on my Alpha One drive. Unfortunately I had a huge brain-fart and over torqued the three nuts by 2-2-/12 times (200 lb. in. instead of 90 lb. in.). Can anyone tell me if I need to replace the upper housing, or will loosening and re-torquing the nuts be adequate?

Thanks in advance.

take it apart and look at it, including the lower part of the pump as well. If you cracked it you need a new one, if you didn't crack it your all set.
