How hard is it to swap out this pump on your own - any advice, tips, or gotchas that I should be aware of? |

You are talking about the main/circulating pump. Not the raw water pump. I have not done one in years!! Make a diagram of the belt so you know who to put it back. Remove the hoses & unbolt it from the block. Clean off the old gasket from the block. In putting the new pump on, the gasket is going to what to fall off. I used a gasket sealer to hold it in place, than bolted it back on. |

Easy job, the only tricky part (sometimes) is you have to get the old pulley off of the mount, remove the 4 bolts and spray PB Blaster in the bolt holes so it can get in between the pulley and the mount, you can use a block of wood and a hammer to tap it off gently or use a pulley puller to be on the safe side. Take a digital pic of how the accessory brackets are bolted on because the lower mounting bolts for the pump share the same holes. Took me about 1/2 hr to swap mine out last fall after 22 years of use... I also use OMC gasket sealer on the gaskets.... These typically last a long time, are you sure yours needs to be replaced? |
