Default Waterpump question?

While pressing out the shaft on my water pump, the entire sleeve, bearing etc came out.

Then, trying to press the bearing out of the shaft, I bent the hell out of the end of the shaft:



Does anyone know if I can get a new sleeve. Trying to keep the original water pump.

Thanks

Russ

Get a NCRS Driveline monthly magazine and look up one of their water pump restorers. Another suggestion, call up one of the major CF vendors and ask for a restorer recommendation. Good luck...I think you'll find someone who'll do your restoration.

There is a company that sells on e-bay (h2opumpman1) that specializes in rare water pumps...very good prices to...I got an orginal for my Pace car from him...was very nicely done..and at a great price

Specializing in original castings, rare models, imports, etc. Quality parts that are all new or professionally rebuilt. Great deals on Ford, Mercury, Porsche, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Chevy, Chrysler, and MORE!

I had to pull a sleeve like that on a Harley. I bought a harbor freight puller and welded it to the sleeve and then just pull it off.

Hi Russ,
You may want to contact Arthur Gould Rebuilders in Kings Park, N.Y..
I'm not sure if they sell parts, but they certainly rebuild water pumps.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
