Dont use a screwdriver to pry it out.. my father did this and bent the shaft. The drill a hole and thread a screw to pull method workwd for me! Thx for the helpful video 🤙
@@Asunamazda if you're replacing the cup also like I was, put a wide head screw into it, and then used a slide hammer to pull the screw out with the cup. Worked like a charm
I have a 1999 sportsman 335 that was leaking oil. I took the cover plate off the oil cooler pump and it had no impeller or mechanical seal. Just a gasket around the middle post. The post is not threaded and all I can see is the bearing and the post. Don’t really understand if this is normal or was the mechanical seal been missing? Help!!!
If you look at the sparkplug and its wet and its blowing coolant out the tail pipe or white smoke..Head gasket. If its dripping from the weep hole...its the seal.
Looks like I bought the exact same kit as you and I just got done replacing mine in my sportsman 500 now I am getting coolant leaking out of my weep hole. Not sure if I got bad seal. I am guessing if it is coolant leaking it is the mechanical seal that is the issue.
Dumb question been work one one these for a friend seen it was leaking out the lil hole could this cause an overheating problem? And when I pressure test it , it don’t leak out that hole or anywhere else just happened to notice it was dripping
When you pressure test it you might be pushing in the mechanical water pump. If it leaks out the weep hole its leaking somewhere. Check the oil in the engine. see if there is coolant in the block.
The shaft and bearing inside housing how do you pull that apart to change shaft and bearing inside housing do I have pull while engine to do that thanks
I thought you said in your previous vidios that this was the incorrect way of doing this job ? I was getting water in the crankcase as well . I recently did this job by taking off the "plate" behind the flywheel . I think the problem was the inner seal . So far no water in the oil .
It's a bitch!!! One advice I can give is to do it on a day your super relax and plan on spending a few tedious hours. Found it to be easier to break the seal piece by piece and once you only are down to just the metal and no other obstructions to punch out the metal by delivering super light blows with a small sharp flat screw driver and then slide out the middle piece off the shaft. Using a hook catching the back of whats left pull slowly and gently towards you. Once you see the first edge/sealing surface pull away just work around and it comes off. Not easy but doable.
97 scrambler 500 non ho: I can’t really tell if it’s the weep hole that’s leaking or if it’s the outer impeller seal AND I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANNA PULL MOTOR just because frame is in way of pump (no white smoke)
