Anyone know if I can press it back in or just order a new pump? 2012 800 RMK

This is the main oil feed line, the brass connector (90) fell out and is still in the hose hanging below. Oh yeah my garage is a skating rink...

This exact thing happened to my 12. Got a new motor under warranty. I would be very concerned that it ran with no oil. I would also not be convinced that the fitting wouldn't fall out again.

Post up a pic of the fitting, I'd like to see how much knurling is on the fitting.

Jeez, that's an issue. No way I'd trust that pump again - if you had a warranty, I'm sure you won't be asking. Bummer, is this a pump QA issue, anyone outside of 12's? Lotsa floor dry needed.

Also the best tip ever, drill out 10 rivets and peel back the bottom pan to access. You can see how easy this will be now. I was worried about the time it takes to pull the engine....
