Thanks Fred,
I guess tapping on the impeller (with other end of shaft firmly stopped and
threads protected) will not 'fix' a shrunken bellows seal - rather needs to be
dissassembled and done right.
Do you think Vicky Brits water pump seal is good quality or should I go with
Rover or the Pioneer-Weston brand on eBay? If you have the best seal - what's
your price?
ps; on water pumps with grease fittings does the grease get delivered between
the front and rear bearing? - from here it looks like it goes BEHIND the rear
bearing and out the bottom slot!
My housing doesn't have a grease fitting but a tiny hole topside right
between the two bearings (hidden when pulley in place) - probably a breather
hole.
Regards,
Carl

<< Carl, these seals are available from your local Massey/Ferguson tractor
dealer and are being made by "Rover", also available from V/B (not Rover
made)there are 2 "C" clips that hold the bearings in place inside the
housing and keep them from any movement, 1 is on the outside of the top
bearing and the other is on the bottom of the bearing, the impeller should
have a clearance of .085 from the housing, if you try to press the impeller
further onto the shaft to get the right clearance you must make sure the 2
"C" clips did not move, the outside "C" you can see, the inside you must
look through the water drain outlet slot where you will see the rubber water
thrower and the small "C" clip, if it is not in place or has been bent you
must completely start over with a new "C" clip and this time press the
impeller onto the shaft a little further place the rear impeller seal in
place and then insert the shaft into the housing, install the small "C",
bearing abutment washer, bearing (face-up), spacer, bearing (facedown), and
now press the bearings down until the "C" can be placed into it's slot, not
too much pressure downward just enough to clear the groove, on the bottom of
the housing where the impeller seals, this surface "must not" have any
groves or badly worn areas, if it does the seal will leak, I have parts
available if you are in need, I also have the complete breakdown/cross over
part numbers for the "Massey/Ferguson" part numbers if anyone cares for a
sheet. Don't forget to "powder-Coat" the housing and pulley while you have
off :) "FT"
