Water pump rebuild continued
Finaly got the orings I was talking about :-) as in the first picture you can see the first one in place and the second one about to go on.
In the second picture you can see the bearing that I have just tapped in using a suitably sized socket. I then used a socket to tap in the seal.
Picture 3 shows the water pump shaft being inserted. This must be done before the distributor drive shaft goes in. Also it may be easier to put the woodruff key in before the shaft goes in. The seal that was put in in picture 2 makes it difficult to insert later (but probably not impossible). You also need to be careful when you push the shaft through the roller bearing you can dislodge the roller bearings if you are not careful. Make sure the shaft is FULLY inserted, look through the retaining bolt hole and make sure you can see the slot, these are marked in the picture. (The other little bolt in the picture is the retaing bolt for the lower distributor shaft bearing) I have included one of the dismantleing pictures (picture4) to show you the retaining bolt.
Picture 5 shows the bottom distributor drive shaft bearing going in, it is a good idea to keep good records of how you dismantle things, it is not clear in this photo but the sirclip that retains the bearing has a 2mm gap. The two washers in the picture are what take up the slack, this is how it was when it came out so that is how I am putting it back in.
Off on fishing holiday next week, so will have some time to get some more posts ready :-)
