WATER PUMP

a. Dismantling:
1) Remove the pulley hub (4-6) from the spindle. Press the
spindle bearing shaft and impeller out of the housing
towards the impeller housing.
2) Press the spindle bearing shaft out of the impeller (2-6)
and remove the seal assembly (3-6). In case of a water
pump with ceramic insert remove the ceramic impeller
assembly (6-6).

b. Inspection & Repair:
Examine all the parts for excessive rust or scale.
Check the fit of the spindle bearing shaft to the impeller
bore. The interference fit should never be less than 0.025
mm (0.001 in). Check the fit of the spindle bearing shaft to
the pulley hub bore. The interference fit should never be less
than 0.025 mm (0.001 in). Check the fit of the spindle
bearing shaft to the water pump housing.
The fit can vary from 0.0025 mm loose to 0.025 mm tight
(0.0001 in loose to 0.001 in tight).
Check the seal for signs of excessive wear or loss of spring
action, the ceramic assy. insert for cracks or pitting. Check
rubber boot for twisting or breakage.

c. Assembly:
Install the seal on the spindle bearing ensuring that the
carbon thrust ring of the seal is away from the bearing. In
the case of a water pump with a ceramic insert press the
rubber boot and the ceramic insert in to the impeller. Press
the impeller over the spindle making sure that the face of the
impeller hub is flush with the end of the spindle. Press the
spindle bearing shaft into the water pump body. Ensure that
the impellor face is flush with the spindle face & the pulley
hub on the spindle.

on the spindle.
NOTE :
The hub should rotate freely after assembly. Clip (used for holding
bearing) should be properly seated.
WATER PUMP BODY
a. Position the bearing assy. inside the water pump body as
shown in fig-6a & apply load on the bearing outer race. Push
the bearing inside the body.
b. Ensure that the spindle bearing is properly seated and
flush with water pump hub side body see fig.7a.
c. Support the bearing shaft as shown in fig-7a.
Position the pulley hub on top of the shaft as shown fig. and
push it on the shaft until the top face of the hub gets aligned
with the top surface of the bearing shaft. Check for free
rotation of the pulley hub.

d. Support the bearing shaft as shown in fig-8a.
Position the unitised seal on the bearing shaft as shown in
figure. With the help of the special tool (Pressing dolly) press
down the seal Assy on the shaft and inside the body till it
seats properly in its place. (as shown in Fig-9a)
Special tool for assembling unitised seal :
- Dolley - Unitised seal assembly
- MST No. : MST-EN-7
e. Support to the bearing shaft as shown in fig-9a.
Position the impeller on the bearing shaft as shown in fig-9a.
Press the impeller on the bearing shaft until the impeller top
surfaces aligns flush with the bearing shaft top face. See
fig.8.
NOTE : The hub should rotate freely after assembly. Clip
