I have had the honor of breaking BOTH plastic tubes! I have much respect for them now.
As for the recall and the add on pump, you can get M-time as needed for aftermarket/add on equipment. As per the recall instructions (as always) you need to call the support center as listed in the recall, describe what you need to do and make separate time clock punches for the actual time. THEN you call them back to tell them the times and get an approval code, dollar amount, and operation code. I was paid an extra 2.5 for accessing the shroud, fan, stator, belt and bracket. It is a fair deal.
