Has anyone ever successfully repaired a Cossie 4x4 water pump. Mine started leaking around the bearing bush when I assembled the car after bending 16 little capped rods when a rubber belt stripped its teeth. Maybe there's someone out there using a good used pump as for a paper weight? Help someone, I'm from South Africa and there's very little help here.

 

Not sure if you can fix them mate, probably better of just getting a new one, especially if your considering buying a 2nd hand one that has been lying around for a bit. Mine was ok, but the car was off the road for 2 years and when i had it all back together the pump leaked like sieve as the seals had all dried out.

 

Thanks for responding Rog. Found engineering works willing to give it a go even if it means sawing off the spindle, fit new bearing plus bush and reweld. I'm desperate for transport so either he does it or I give it a go. Cheers, keep well.
