Section X. WATER PUMP AND FAN
14-56. General.
a. The water pump is a centrifugal type pump that
circulates coolant through the engine and radiator.
The pump is mounted on the front of the cylinder
block and is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley.
Coolant is drawn through the inlet opening by the
pump impeller and forced through the outlet in the
backside of the volute and into the cylinder block, and
the lube oil cooler.
b. The water pump shaft and bearing assembly
does not require lubrication because the bearing is of
the sealed-for-life type. A water slinger on the
pulley end of the shaft slings any coolant which might
seep past the seal assembly out the cored opening in
the pump body, thus preventing coolant from coming
in contact with the shaft bearing. The shaft and
bearing assembly is secured in the pump body by a
press fit and a retaining snap ring. The seal be-
tween the impeller and pump body is of the packless
type. The seal assembly is spring loaded and is
pressed into the pump body forming a leakproof seal
at this point,
c. The fan is located behind the radiator on the
front of the engine.
The fan is belt driven from the
engine and draws cooling air through the louvered
panel at the rear of the unit and exhausts it through
the radiator core, shutter and grille.
14-57. Removal and Disassembly.
a. Water Pump Removal.
Refer to Operator and Organizational Maintenance
Manual.
b. Fan Removal.
Refer to Operator and Organizational Maintenance
Manual.
c. Water Pump Disassembly.
(1) Place water pump in a press and remove
pulley hub.
(2) See figure 14-27 and disassemble water
pump as illustrated.
(3) Place water pump assembly in position on
a press, impeller end up. Make certain the pump
rests on back of pump body and not on the water inlet
or drain hole.
Press end of shaft until shaft and
bearing assembly is out of the pump body. Remove
impeller from the pump body.
(4) Drive out seal assembly with a drift pin or
rod and a hammer. ,
14-58. Inspection and Repair.
a. Check condition Of pump shalt and bearing
assembly by rotating the bearing. If the bearing
Figure 14-27. Water Pump
is binding, running dry from lack of lubricant, or
feels rough, the shaft and bearing assembly must be
replaced. If the slinger is damaged, it must be
replaced.
CAUTION
Do not clean shaft and bearing assembly
in cleaning solvent because the lubricant
will be washed from the bearing.
b. Check condition of the ceramic seal insert
bonded to the pump impeller. If it is rough, cracked,
or chipped, replace the impeller.
c. Thoroughly clean pump body with cleaning
solvent, 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. Pump Reassembly.
(1) Position pump body on press, impeller end
up. Position seal assembly in the pump body. Place
seal installer tool on the seal and press seal into
pump body, making certain the carbon sealing sur-
face is not damaged.
CAUTION
Face of seal assembly must be free of
oil, grease, and fingerprints before seal
assembly is installed.
(2) Position pump body on press, bearing bore
up. Start shaft and bearing assembly into bore,
slinger end of shaft down. Press shaft until bearing
seats on shoulder in the pump body. The slinger
must be 1-15/16 inches from the end of the shaft
