jeff Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Who has a water pump rebuild kit for my '38 Special? (actually, since my pump doesn't have an external oil cup, I probably have a later service pump) All of the sources I have checked so far offer rebuilt exchanges only.I removed the pump to pull the radiator and have it "boiled". Although my pump was not leaking, it is a bit "stiff" to rotate. I would guess the bearings are nearly finished.Thanks for any help,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterpainter Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Jeff The "drag" on your pump might be the seal. I know of no source (other than e-bay) for the rebuild kits. I have tried to locate them in the past ( in quantity, not just one) and could not find a retail or wholesale source.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Have you tried the local auto parts store to see if they can send it out to have it rebuilt for you. If they are selling rebuilt water pumps, there is a good chance that they can get it rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
