I actually have a Spree pump amoung my parts that someone replaced the seal on. You can see where they used a hammer and punch to retain the new seal.
Yes - my Spree pump had a washer and was swaged around the outside to hold it. But --- I just dug up a failed Gyro oil pump, and it looks like a professional - maybe factory stake. Note also, no washer was used.
