I'm a dumbass. I let some plywood lean the against the piping of the whirlpool while I was prepping the deck.

When I fill the tub, the pump intake line leaks where it meets the tub. The tub is already glued down, hard but not impossible to reach the service side. I cannot see the actual failure point.

What would be the right disassembly and refit procedure? Or is there another way?

Looking at the very awesome CAD diagrams on the Kohler site, it seems the disconnect is between the suction flange and housing assembly. The gasket is wet. From the pictures, none of these parts seem threaded. They all must be glued.

I can't tell if the pieces are cracked, or just the joint between them.

Suggestions very welcome. :)

Yours fondly,
The Dumbass.
