|
|
Hi all,
Would any know if the water pump on my '54 M38A1 original motor can be rebuilt? I have seen rebuild kits but I have had some bad luck with rebuild kits and parts made in China that don't fit right (brake line "S" tubes).
The bearings are starting to sqeal but it works and does not leak.
Are special tools needed?
Maybe I should just get a whole new pump but it would cost 2x as much as a kit.
Thanks for any thoughts on this. |

Army Jeep Parts can rebuild them. That is who did mine and it works great after 5 years. _________________ Ryan Miller

Piece of cake, just get a quality brand what is called "a cut off bearing" @ your local bearing supplier. _________________ John GIBBINS
