Hello all. Last weekend I did my oil & filter changes and after running engines, I have what is now a significant drip from the port engine water pump. After my last impellor change on this unit I was getting a very small drop every few minutes. It seemed minor (to me), so I let it go, but did purchase the new pump to have at the ready. The now constant drip is coming from the center of the unit, so I am assuming it is the seals.
I brought the new pump home with me to get painted. Looking at the pump, I see there is a threaded shaft for connecting to the engine. I did some searching here but can’t find any details on how I go about the removal and installation of the new pump. I am hoping some of you may be able to share the procedure with me, or if there is a diagram out there that I am not aware of.
My quick inexperienced observation is that I would need to disconnect the hoses, then remove the hose connector plates to reinstall on the new unit. The bottom bolt of the pump looks fairly tight to the engine mount. I am racking my brain over that shaft… my old cummins had round bevel type gear that just got lined up and bolted on, so I have no idea here.
Your insight and tips on making this as painless as possible are appreciated.
