(3)
Remove snap ring (6) from the water pump
shaft.
( 4)
Pull shaft (8) off the pulley side on pump case
and remove bearings (7) and (9) from the shaft.
3-2 Inspection
(1)
Examine the pump operation by slowly rotating it.
If
the pump is erratic in rotation, replace the
bearings with new ones.
(2) Visually check the impeller for corrosion or
breakage. Replace a defective impeller. Also check
the impeller for signs of rubbing.
If
such rubbing is
evident, check for the cause. The impeller and case
or cover, if found damaged due to rubbing, must
be replaced with new ones.
(3) Check the unit seal for condition. Replace the seal
if it is badly worn or damaged.
(4) Check the pump shaft bearing journals for wear.
Replace the shaft if the journals are excessively
worn.
(5) Check those surfaces of pump case to which the
bearings are fitted for excessive wear or damage.
Replace the case or the pump assembly if the case
is found in bad condition on those surfaces.
[NOTE]
Upon assembling the water pump, tum it by
means of the pulley, making sure that the pump
rotation is smooth without signs of binding.
