I take 'em apart, screw them in and the reassemble. Not difficult or fiddly. Make sure that you don't overtighten and ensure that you can actually release the clip as it can catch the pump housing...

Nelly thanks for that, so what / how is your method of dis-assembly accomplished I have looked at the old one and popped the spring on the push side, how then do you remove the tiny plunger and other spring from under the metal slider part

[nelly]

Push the plunger into the coupling, below the plate, and then the plate/spring etc. are free to pull out. Don't lose any of the bits though
You need to position the plate so that the pin can be pushed through though but it's pretty self evident.

Am unable to push the plunger below the plate must be different to the ones you use, so still stuck!
