I'll start by wishing those that are into the new year already a prosperous and Happy New Year.
I'm trying to re-fit the water pump assembly back onto the drive shaft of my 1981 15 hp Johnson. Taking it apart was easy (although I lost the key for the impeller when it flew off). Now I can't seem to fit it all together. I've got the pump assembled and bolted on the bottom end but how can I slide it onto the shaft and keep the key in the slot and on the shaft?
Do I have to disconnect the drive shaft at the top?
I'm not a mechanic by trade as you can tell, thanks for some input.
