Charge cooler pump refurbishment -help

[pete_gt3]

Hi Guys!

I've narrowed down a coolant leak to this item and understand that I can obtain a kit to refurbish it.
Can anyone advise me of the process to remove it?
Presumably the oil filter needs to come off?

Cheers

Pete

Thanks very much

pump issue is usually a no-pump problem, not a leak. The rubber impellor seperates from the inner hub.
I dont know of a kit, just the new impellor. there is a gasket between the 2 halves of the pump, and an o-ring on the shaft..

the job is easy.. the second time..haha...

mine did just that. I have the pump sitting on my desk. I also have an electric pump from JC Welch in the states that works a treat. Chargecooler is ALWAYS cold to touch!

Thanks again for the replies. Hopefully I'll get it sorted by mid-week. Have arranged a recon pump now, so I've just got to get the thing off.

Just got Steve williams to replace mine as
i thought it was loosing water to oil, turns
out is was absolutely knackered too.
Is now cold, not just colder than everything
else in the engine bay, but proper 'chilled'
kinda cold. won't let it get in that state
again now i have been enlightened in both how
it feels when healthy - and how it performs!!
