If the pump housing isn't cracked or the shaft damaged, the pump can be rebuilt for about $60 and a couple hours time. Only special tool you need is a power steering type pulley puller.
AllDodge, Iv'e wondered about that pulley being able to be removed. So..... It will come off with the puller and how difficult to put back on while in place?
Thanks, Rick

It goes back on real easy, if you don't sand all the paint off you can put it back on with a bench vice, or press. The pump shaft sticks out the opposite side so there is no contact or stress on housing. Just push it back on until the paint lines back up. I rebuilt two of them in about 3 hours, first one took the most time with learning curve
Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket (Sierra, EMP) replacement pump for pt #46-807151A8. The fuel pump looks to be driven off of the water pump. I have a 7.4l Mercruiser/Bravo. 1996/1997
No leaks on the pump, it seems the bearing is frozen or has gone out. At idle its fine, but anything over 1000 rpm and it makes a very loud squealing noise. All of the belts are properly tensioned.

It probably is the bearings, in my signature there is a link about maintaining the pump. The lube needs to be checked every couple years and replaced when you start seeing gas. I kept looking but found only used pumps in the cheaper range. I used the same pump on both my boats. What you could try is drain the lube out, or swab it out if you don't have the lower plug, and refill with gear lube.
If you want to rebuild it here is the parts you will need.
