look at your seals, there's a spring around the inner part of the seal, which holds it tight against the water pump shaft.

That spring should be facing the liquid side.

So, on the water seal, put the spring toward the impeller and the oil seal spring toward the engine.

Next time, take your time taking things apart, and you will be able to put it back together without any hassle... ;)

Sounds like words of experience! ;)


Indy's right. Look very closely at everything you take apart. Take notice of the smallest details. Use a scratch pad to jot down some notes if it's gonna be a big job. TAKE YOUR TIME, TAKE YOUR TIME, TAKE YOUR TIME. Pictures can help, especially for tranny or suspension work.

I'd much rather learn from someone else's experience... never quite works out that way though.

I always seem to end up breaking things no one else does.
