Water pump bearing
Thanks CARREAPER
Trying to get to the second bearing inside the aluminium housing on the end of the shaft was a bit challenging, until you know how. My initial thoughts was to try and press it off as I could see the sirclip on the under side of the unit but that didn't work, as you can see from the first picture there is no obvious way to get the steel plate out, there may be a special tool you can use for there are three holes in the middle groove of the aluminum housing but I was unable to get any of the standard screw drivers to apply any force to push it out, so as in the second picture and the fact that I had new parts to replace all these I used a screw driver to lever the edge up as I levered around it eventyually came loose, probably not the best way but it did work. Under this there was another seal as in picture 3. I used a hook to go in through the small side and pull the seal out, this seal came away easily and possibly the seal responsible for the leaking (My next post will have more on this)
As in picture 4 I finally got down to the sir clip that was holding everything together, I used a set of long nose sir clip pliers to get it out. In picture 5 I put it back in the press to push the shaft out.
