Section X. WATER PUMP AND FAN14-56. General.a. The water pump is a centrifugal type pump thatcirculates coolant through the engine and radiator.The pump is mounted on the front of the cylinderblock and is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley.Coolant is drawn through the inlet opening by thepump impeller and forced through the outlet in thebackside of the volute and into the cylinder block, andthe lube oil cooler.b. The water pump shaft and bearing assemblydoes not require lubrication because the bearing is ofthe sealed-for-life type. A water slinger on thepulley end of the shaft slings any coolant which mightseep past the seal assembly out the cored opening inthe pump body, thus preventing coolant from comingin contact with the shaft bearing. The shaft andbearing assembly is secured in the pump body by apress fit and a retaining snap ring. The seal be-tween the impeller and pump body is of the packlesstype. The seal assembly is spring loaded and ispressed into the pump body forming a leakproof sealat this point,c. The fan is located behind the radiator on thefront of the engine.The fan is belt driven from theengine and draws cooling air through the louveredpanel at the rear of the unit and exhausts it throughthe radiator core, shutter and grille.14-57. Removal and Disassembly.a. Water Pump Removal.Refer to Operator and Organizational MaintenanceManual.b. Fan Removal.Refer to Operator and Organizational MaintenanceManual.c. Water Pump Disassembly.(1) Place water pump in a press and removepulley hub.(2) See figure 14-27 and disassemble waterpump as illustrated.(3) Place water pump assembly in position ona press, impeller end up. Make certain the pumprests on back of pump body and not on the water inletor drain hole.Press end of shaft until shaft andbearing assembly is out of the pump body. Removeimpeller from the pump body.(4) Drive out seal assembly with a drift pin orrod and a hammer. ,14-58. Inspection and Repair.a. Check condition Of pump shalt and bearingassembly by rotating the bearing. If the bearingFigure 14-27. Water Pumpis binding, running dry from lack of lubricant, orfeels rough, the shaft and bearing assembly must bereplaced. If the slinger is damaged, it must bereplaced.CAUTIONDo not clean shaft and bearing assemblyin cleaning solvent because the lubricantwill be washed from the bearing.b. Check condition of the ceramic seal insertbonded to the pump impeller. If it is rough, cracked,or chipped, replace the impeller.c. Thoroughly clean pump body with cleaningsolvent, Federal Specification P-D-680.d. Check condition of bearing bore in the body.Replace pump body if cracks are evident.e. Replace the water pump seal assembly.14-59. Reassembly and Installation.a. PumpReassembly.(1) Position pump body on press, impeller endup. Position seal assembly in the pump body. Placeseal installer tool on the seal and press seal intopump body, making certain the carbon sealing sur-face is not damaged.CAUTIONFace of seal assembly must be free ofoil, grease, and fingerprints before sealassembly is installed.(2) Position pump body on press, bearing boreup. Start shaft and bearing assembly into bore,slinger end of shaft down. Press shaft until bearingseats on shoulder in the pump body. The slingermust be 1-15/16 inches from the end of the shaftChange 7 14-61
