Thanks Bob, I just ordered one from the local Moss reseller (double shipping
this would not be a good idea).  The best news is that Moss has it on sale
for $83 right now!!!!

My biggest worry was that the reproduction quality would not be good.
Everyone seems to think that these are fine.

Patton,


re:
"Does this mean I have to replace the pump with a new one or can they be
rebuilt?  Is rebuilding worth the effort?  If it is, is this a DIY job or
one to take to a shop?"


They can be rebuilt, if you can get the parts (bearing/shaft and seal).
You'll need a hydraulic press.  The "trick," I expect, is to get the 
proper depth on the shaft for the impeller and the pulley.  I've seen the 
parts available for older 6-cyl models, but have yet to see them for my BJ8.
