I cut and welded the correct size allen wrench to an old long screw driver shaft and used that to turn the pump. You can chuck it up into a drill to prime the pump also.
The water pump is driven by the oil pump shaft - there is a tab on the end of the oil pump shaft and there is a groove on the water pump which sits into that shaft. All shafts end up being driven by the motor.
The most common power steering pump leaks are at the line connections or behind the pulley at the shaft. The line leaks can possibly be repaired, but the shaft seal leak could be better to change the pump.
yes you can. of you tightened it up off the shaft pump damage probably occured or the shaft has bent.
The alignment of a pump is the process of making sure the pump shaft and prime mover (electric motor, engine,ect.)shaft are lined up perfect both horazonally and verticaly to ensure there is no binding on the coupling.
Shaft from distributor could be stripped or the screen on oil pump my be clogged but most likely its the shaft coming from pump to the distributor is stripped or broke
you can turn it with a long handled screw driver if you wish, but its easier to just turn the distributor until it drops down into place. then set your timing
there are paint marks on the chain. once you line it up it should be on tdc
Yeah, the best material simply pump shaft. I guess that pumping shaft's just the way it is
That would be a long shaft water pump.
If the water pump locks up, the impeller shaft is bent, or the water pump pulley is loose yes.
the pump has a small window on the side held on with 2 screws turn pump shaft or if installed on engine turn engine over until small scribed lines line up then see that engine flywheel marks allign tdc marked grommet or plug in rhs of bellhousing
