Illustration 1. Additional tools needed.
Illustration 2. Special tool needed to install new seal assembly.If replacement of the 9N3141 Seal Assembly is necessary, or if the water pump is rebuilt, use the procedure that follows:
If the water pump is equipped with a 9N3077 Pulley and the pump is to be rebuilt and used in a different installation, install a new 9N3899 Pulley and 5P9681 Bolt. The former bolt can cause interference (contact) with some optional or OEM accessory drive pulleys. If the water pump is to be used in the same or a similar installation, it is not necessary to install the new pulley and bolt.Disassembly Of Water Pump
1. Use the Service Manual for the respective models to remove the water pump.2. Hold the water pump shaft in a vise. Remove the bolt that fastens the pulley to the shaft. Remove the pulley (Illustration 3).
Illustration 3. Remove pulley.3. Use the 1P529 Handle, 1P460 Plate and a press to remove the shaft, seal and impeller assembly (Illustration 4).
Illustration 4. Remove shaft, seal and impeller assembly.4. Remove the bearing and spacer from the pulley end of the water pump (Illustrations 5 and 6).

1. Install the bearing and spacer in the pulley end of the water pump. Install the bearing and retaining ring in the impeller end of the water pump.2. Turn the water pump housing over. Be sure the spacer is in the center of the bearing bores. Install the shaft through the bearings and spacer from the impeller end of the water pump. The shaft-to-bearing fit can be .0007" (0.017 mm) loose to .0003" (0.007 mm) tight.3. Install the pulley. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 55 lb ft (75 N m).4. Put the new 9N3141 Seal Assembly on the end of the shaft (Illustration 9).
Illustration 9. Put new seal assembly on shaft.5. Use a press and the 5P9722 Driver to push the seal assembly over the shaft and into the water pump housing.
Illustration 10. Install correct spacers between impeller and water pump housing.
Do not use a hammer to install the seal assembly.
6. Put a 5P7352 Spacer between the impeller and water pump housing (Illustration 10).7. Put a 5P7353 Spacer on the impeller and slowly press (push) the impeller onto the shaft until the spacer between the housing and impeller can
