Aluminum Water Pump Rebuild

[KevinW]

A good degreaser for alum like simple green (purple power will etch aluminum if left on any length of time). I read brakeclean works well too as a final rinse. I use my glass beader to clean lots of metal. For rusty iron I have a 2nd cabinet with coal slag for aggressive cleaning

"I also got their 3D printed special tool to install the bearing to the shaft."

Do you Mean the Special tool for the Dynamic Seal install tool>? I made custom-mine on a lathe using Alumn Stock.

Be Very careful pressing in the Seal.

& use the Chassis Overhaul Manual as a Guide.

Oh & we all make mistakes when Truley performing DIY. I can not even fathom being a Pro and rebuilding for a fee. I would go nuts.

Yeah, that tool of yours is a bit finer than mine. Very nice! I do have that manual and plan to follow it closely. I know it’s very important to support the pump when pressing in the seal. Yes, I meant the dynamic seal. Any other specific tips for pressing in the seal? Thanks
