Somehow I have managed to misplace the impeller key while replacing my water pump. Will a key from Napa that is about the same size work? Ideas and thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
John

Re: Impeller Key

If you lost the old key you do not have a way to know if one that you get matches it. Plus, the material difference could be an issue. Keep in mind that a key that "fits" may not fit correctly and may shear or destroy the inner plastic sleeve of the impeller. For a $2.00 part it's just not worth the risk. That's not to say that I wouldn't do it myself in an emergency, but this isn't an emergency.
