Thread: Acceptable amount for the water pump pulley to be out of line???

Tweet

when you press the hub in more you need the back up the impeller then trim the shaft if it hits the back plate you need to press the pump with the back cover off . i would trim the spacers and the pulley if it is there to take. if not go for the hub what way your just cutting a wee bit off each or throw it in a us postal flat rate box and i will fix it for you

....Thanks Pat, I'll take a look at it tomorrow & see if I think it's something I can handle but more than likely I'll be PM'ing you for your address!!! Also I need to pick up a machinest's rule to get right on on the amount that needs to come off.... Thanks again Bill

I like Pat's idea, but it will be tough to find a replacement pump when you're out of town.

Even so, most pump failures give you some warning and if need be, running home at moderate speeds should work even if the belt is off 1/8".

It's that wrapping em up that gets em.
