I am replacing the pump and now that I have the new kit, it appears the impeller will is larger then the housing. The manual gives steps to reassemble but no illustration. What am I doing wrong?
the impeller is usally larger it get squash everytime it rotates in the offset pump circle. and being squashed it pumps water out...it made out of rubber so bend it and install it...double check part number though
Put the impellor on the shaft and slide the housing down to it. Now, while pushing down on the housing turn the drive shaft. The vanes of the water pump will bend as you turn and the housing will go down. It doesn't matter which way the vanes bend. They will get themselves in the right direction the first time you start the engine.
