Re: Volvo Penta Raw Water Pump
Got all my parts in....
After some trial and error, I did manage to get everything completely disassembled got the bearings, seal, and oring replaced, and just put everything back together and got it all running. No leaks so far.
I took some pic's along the way, but not as many as I should have.
I will post a tutorial of what I did, but I will say this:
If you do not suspect the bearings as being bad, I would highly suggest simply replacing the lip seal underneath the impeller.
This is SO much easier to do than doing a whole bearing job and disassembly, and it's a $4 part for better than stock!
You just have to make sure you clean the shaft of corrosion when you replace the lip seal, and ensure that it did not disintegrate to the point where the metal ring around the lip seal scored the main shaft. If that happens, you have little choice but to replace the pump and or find a replacement shaft. I don't know if the shaft is available; I didn't need one.
But the parts that I listed from Grainger ARE valid parts for this model pump, and the bearings are stamped as the 6202 series stainless, sealed with rubber sides, and made in France. So any stainless, sealed bearing 35mmx15mm bore x11mm width will work on this shaft.
