TAMD41A Circulation Pump Rebuild

[bowler]

Hello folks.

Anyone rebuilt one of these? Mine is leaking coolant from the weep hole on the underside of the pump at quite a rate.

I see the kit on ASAP supplies. Won't get in the post until Monday so it looks like the Easter trip is out the window. Do I need anything fancy tool wise?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps a press?

Many thanks.

You've just reminded me this is a job to add to my list. So thanks for the thread and thanks @Plum .

I'm in the process of doing this for someone else but covid stopped play.

No special tools necessary, but a reasonably sized vice is nice to have. Measure carefully where the bearings are before removal so you get them correctly located on assembly.
Done this 4 times, it's about a 20 min to 1/2 hour job, for the second time and onwards

Edit: The vice is just practical for laying the bearing on and tapping the axle through.

Sounds like you are referring to the seawater pump, not the coolant circulation pump?

You are absolutely right! I thought of the seawater pump.

Read "weep hole on the underside of the pump at quite a rate", which was my problem too, and jumped at the chance of finally contributing something
