<DIV>I have identified that my BJ8 water pump is noisy.</DIV>
<DIV>First thought that it was the fan (bad at certain RPM) but after removing
the belt it squeaks when rotated.</DIV>
<DIV>Looking at my drivers handbook, a lube point is shown.</DIV>
<DIV>However mine does not have one, only a small rectangular hole at the top
and bottom that I think is for removing the bearing retaining clip....?</DIV>
<DIV>Noise sounds to me like a dry bearing. Is there any way to lubricate it in
situ ??</DIV>
<DIV>There is no lateral or longitudinal bearing play and the pump is supposedly
quite new per PO but not been used much.</DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas ? –or do I just bite the bullet and pull it and get a
replacement; I note bearings are over 70% of cost of complete pump.</DIV>
