You should be able to, but you will need to also work on the pulley's
alignment. Don't know if you have aftermarket ones or the stock tiger offsets,
but moving the flange back will affect the alignment. I did it to an edelbrock
as others have, I would expect the assembly to be pretty similar. Below is a
link to a picture on the press. I used an impact socket on the flange, and a
small socket on the pack that was only touching the shaft not the impeller. Be
careful to not press it too far, if you do, you not totally ruined just put in
bolts into the flange and evenly screw them into the front of the pump you can
move it out slowly. You might have to fix up the link if it gets chopped.

Subject: Re:
[Tigers] Miloden Water Pumps
Hey guys: (any "gal" listers out there?)
Does
anyone know if its possible to press the shaft back in a Miloden water
pump
to gain clearance from the rad?
Since I installed an alloy rad approx 3/4
inch thicker than stock, and
fitted the original shroud, the fan blades are
now buried
in the shroud completely. I understand for maximum effect the
blades should
be roughly 2/3 inside - 1/3 outside the shroud.
Two possible
solutions: fit a shorter water pump (does one exist?) or
shorten the shroud,
which would reduce the shroud's
effectiveness.
I'm not sure which is the
better of two bad choices: leave the fan buried ot
cut down the depth of the
shroud?
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Dave Munroe
