Thanks

They have a very long and detailed set of directions on their site. Pictures included. http://www.reeflopumps.com/tipstroubleshooting.html

For the o-ring you can measure it and match it so an AS568 number using a chart like this one:

Then use that number to try and locate one locally, typically bearing suppliers like B&T carry a full line of o-rings.
