[Healeys] Water Pump Question

I had an original with a plug; I think you were supposed to force some 
grease into the hole then use the plug to force it into the bearing; 
there are 'special' grease guns--they look like a big syringe--and 
special water pump grease (it is thicker than typical grease and very 
tacky).

Newer pumps and rebuilds come with sealed bearings, but they still have 
the casting boss for the plug.
