Great video. Saw the answer to my questions in other replies. Going to hope the oil seal looks good and forget the oil pump bearing. Way over my pay grade. Got coolant coming out weep hole. Hope the kit fixes it 👍
Why did you just replace the seal and impeller? Not the whole water pump? Mine is leaking coolant and I'm not sure if I just need to replace the seal and impeller or the whole pump. Thanks
video shows the Basics, but im finding very little content on youtube showing someone actually tapping the seals in place, guess you was late for lunch,maybe next time a little more detail bud, other then that was helpfull
According to the factory Polaris service manual for these machines the oil seal in question can not be replaced without removing the whole engine case cover and installing it from the inside , they warn that the shaft "will" be damaged. Not sure why , seals like this are replaced in the manner used here all the time . The book also says the engine has to be removed to do this ??? So I would suggest leaving the seal alone if it is not leaking , if oil ever appears from the weep hole you can get another kit and replace it at that time , maybe never . Access is simple so why chance it ? Keith's mechanical , Canada
Polaris tells you that for 2 reasons: 1 - because they don’t want shade tree Gomer to take a break from digging his nose in the back yard and decide the next best idea is to pry against the oil pump shaft (which will either bend or apply uneven loads across bearing and case surfaces resulting in bearing damage) and 2 - they aren’t the end user footing the bill for the engine out service.

If the oil seal looks good and isn’t leaking would you just leave it in? What if you can’t get that lip of the seal to pry away from the case? Can you put a screw in it and pull it out or would that damage the oil seal?
Four wheeler Doctor I am losing anti freeze out the weep hole got the upgrade kit on line with the aluminum impeller and it comes with the warterpump seal and the oil seal. I was just wondering how close together the copper part of the seal is to the oil seal behind it. Was curious if I could put a screw into the copper without it touching the oil seal. Don’t want to replace the oil seal it’s not leaking. Just kind of worried on damaging the aluminium casing trying to pry that lip out all the way around it looks hard to get in between the casing and the seal with a screw driver
@@FourwheelerDoctor cause I put just the outer seal with the spring and put new impeller and put everything back together and let it run and it's still leaking from my weep hole but I didn't do the one that you said you used a screw to get out
It was coolant just a slow drip but I don't understand why I replaced the seal that socket 1 1/4 socket and gently tapped it in to not sure why it's still leaking out the weep hole
@@FourwheelerDoctor thanks. Doing this job this weekend. Hope all goes well. I've read alot of horror stories with recurring problems after doing the job. I'm having to change mine bc I have a slight leak at the weep hole and I have coolant in my oil

Good deal. If the coolant is leaking out then that means the outer seal would be bad so just replacing it should fix your problem
How did you remove the oil seal?

I just bought a water pump rebuild kit on ebay . It shows a bearing in the picture. Where does that go ? Behind the oil seal ?
The bearing goes on the shaft that comes through the water pump but I don't think you can access it without taking the oil pump off.

If it's not leaking I just leave them in. If you put a screw in the seal it will damage it and have to be replaced.

How did you put the inner seal behind the outer seal in your razor
I used a deep well socket to press the inner seal over the shaft.
Did you have to put grease to press in the inner oil seal
I usually put a light coat of grease on the inner and outer edges of the seal.
@@FourwheelerDoctor cause I put just the outer seal with the spring and put new impeller and put everything back together and let it run and it's still leaking from my weep hole but I didn't do the one that you said you used a screw to get out
@@Cilos21 what is leaking out the hole? Coolant or oil
@@FourwheelerDoctor coolant
It was coolant just a slow drip but I don't understand why I replaced the seal that socket 1 1/4 socket and gently tapped it in to not sure why it's still leaking out the weep hole
Need video for replacement of a water pump
How did you press the oil seal back in there?
I used a deep well socket. In most cases you can press on the socket by had and get the seal to slide in.

@@kylep31023 let me know how it turns out
Turned out perfect! The oil seal was a little bit aggravating but overall it was relatively easy.
@@FourwheelerDoctor so that was the inner seal for the oil pump
