[Healeys] BJ8 Water Pump Kits

[Chris Dimmock]

Oh seriously.
Piss off
Seriously.
People want answers. Not some bullshit generics.
I'm calling bullshit. That is not an answer. Not on a Healey list.
Me? I have no better answer than I've done a few. And I'd just shut up rather
than bullshit some crap I've never done, never tried, and I'm making up on the
spot.
Seriously. I've rebuilt water pumps. But only BJ8 and Bugeye Sprite.
Yes.

to cut the hardened shaft. I have used a Dremel with cutting disk(s) (little
heat) quite successfully very often (Cheap Vauxhall WP bearing to convert into
expensive Lotus bearing) and even a larger disk grinder (lots of heat) will
do. Make sure however that the shaft does not get hot and do not let the shaft
spin at silly speeds or at all. Finishing and chamfering the ends on a bench
grinder with a fairly fine grid stone is easy, but always remember, keep
temperatures well down by immersing the ends in water very often. The
dimensions in length are not overly critical.
