Robo -> 03 700 water pump (10/1/2008 12:31:37 PM)
|
Hello all, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to fix a quad for my mother and need a little advise from someone who has more knowledge of the subject than I.
Replaced both rear axle/ cvs, no problem. Next was the water pump. It would overheat and leaked from cover, so it must be it. No plastic cover on it. We took it to a shop and they said the shaft in there will get grooves from the seal or bearing and not work right. My thought is that the shaft is very heavy duty, must just be a seal.
1. How do I get that shaft out? Do I have to remove the stator and side engine case cover to remove that bearing and shaft?
2.That engine side cover gasket streams coolant now, should the coolant be able to get in there or is that the mech. seal failing?
There are hunks of "gasket maker" material around that seem, someone has been in there before. Should that be fixed, does it hold oil or coolant in?
3. I tried just replacing just that mech. seal and it popped apart while installing. Is it no good now? And how should I seal that copper cup? Tried a large socket but thats what popped it apart.
4. The fan does not come on, does it need sufficient coolant flowing to kick some sensor on? Or is there a fuse/relay somewhere?
Thank you anybody that can help with any of this :)
