I have an old Hydro Tek machine with a blown pump, I've had this replacement pump sitting around for months and went to swap it out today. I find the shaft is on the opposite side, can I flip the internals and if so anything I need to look out for? I saw another post where someone did this...

I just bid a coffee type place for a one time cleaning, I'd like some thoughts on my price. Drive thru: 95x10 moderate staining (gum and oil) at window and order board, otherwise pretty clean. Plan on cleaning with mild caustic and hot water. Front entry and walk: 110x5 sidewalk, no gum...
