Does anyone know how to go about removing water pump gear shafts?

Also, what is the best way to remove the Impeller (the stock water pump)?


Thanks.

 

I used a shop press. The impeller shaft is pressed out from the front, and then the bearing is pressed out from the rear.

I had to take it to a shop like he said too, that sledge hammer just wasnt doing the job....lol

 

I didn't have a big enough hammer, had a shop press mine out.

Do a search on the install, or check out projecttransam.com. It has a install guide that work for my CSI intall, good luck.

 

Be careful when you're pressing the shaft out too. I broke the little aluminum collar that holds the bearings to the shaft. It's amazing how far ball bearings will fly.

 

Check this page out he has good info.

I got mine with a 3" claw puller, the same one I used to put my underdrive pulley on with. I hooked it onto the impeller to pull it off then I turned the claws around and hooked to the housing to push the shaft out, piece of cake.
