Water pump shaft
THECARREAPER, no problems it helps to keep things moving :-) I have gained a lot by others doing similar when working on their cars, so thought I would do my bit.
I got the water pump shaft back from the engineering shop and this is what it looks like (Picture 1) they advised that they had "sleeved" the shaft rather than welding and machineing down. I then put the aluminum housing back on and secured with the 16mm sir clip I forgot to take a picture of that. the next part to go on was the new seal(Picture 2) this is the one that would have been over the corroded part of the shaft, I used the drift gently to make sure it was seated correctly.
Picture 3 shows the press fit steel housing and the asociated spring loaded seal being tapped back in using a 1 1/4 inch socket, note you can take the spring loaded seal out to just tap in the steel housing if needed mine went in pretty easy (Note this was the part that was removed with the screw driver in one of the earlier posts)
My picture records are NOT as good as I thought, I think I have one washer that needs to go in next but I can't identify the orientation of the washer, it has a recessed groove on one side, I will do some more investigation before I complete, the exploded parts digram indicates the part but not the orientation, by a process of elimination I think I can work out which way it goes will get some more photos.
