EAS2GC1333REMOVING THE OIL SEAL
TIP
• Remove the oil seal when the coolant level changes frequently more than usual, coolant
has discolored, or engine oil has become
milky.
• Do not use the removed oil seal.
1. Remove:• Oil seals “1”
EAS2GC1334CHECKING THE WATER PUMP
1. Check:
• Water pump housing cover
• Impeller shaftCracks/damage/wear  Replace.
EAS2GC1335CHECKING THE BEARING
1. Check:
• BearingRotate the inner race with your finger.
Rough spot/seizure  Replace.
EAS2GC1336INSTALLING THE OIL SEAL
1. Install:
• Oil seals “1”
TIP
• Apply the lithium-soap-based grease on the oil seal lip.
• Install the oil seal with its manufacture’s marks or numbers facing the right crankcase
cover “2”. 2. Install:
• Bearing “1”
TIP
Install the bearing by pressing its outer race
parallel.
EAS2GC1337ASSEMBLING THE WATER PUMP
1. Install:
• Impeller shaft assembly “1”
•Pin “2”
• Collar “3”
• Circlip “4”
TIP
• Take care so that the oil seal lip is not dam-aged or the spring does not slip off its posi-
tion.
• When installing the impeller shaft, apply the engine oil to the oil seal lip, the bearing, and
the impeller shaft.
