Jalpa water pump
Time to get onto the water pump, I had coolant leaking from the small hole at the back of the water pump that is there to stop the coolant from getting into the oil. I ordered the bearings, seals and gaskets from lambostuff.com got it all for under $100US. Here is how I got it apart after removing form the engine.
Picture 1 the removal of the outlet pipe once the sirclip had been removed, I used at set of pointy nose pliers as my sirclip pliers were not lare enough to get it out, the pipe came out easily after the clip was removed.
Once the pipe is removed you need to remove the two nuts that are located on the drive cog at the other end as in Picture 2 depending on which nut lets go first you may need to use an impact socket and rattle gun to get it off (as I did)
Next remove the three nuts that mount the distributor and then remove the distributor drive shaft as in Picture 3
Next you need to remove the bolt on the side of the water pump that retains the shaft. It is labeled in picture 4
Picture 5 shows the shaft coming out, as long as you have removed the two nuts at the other end it should slide out easily. I have marked the key for the bolt on the side and also the two orings that will be replaced, it did appear as if coolant had been getting passed the first Oring, will post more once I have all the components off the shaft
