      Pre bail-o-matic. I want to replace the o-ring and seal under this water pump cavity. Is it possible to remove it without damage?

      Thanks, Gary

        Gary,
        I have removed the stainless cavity for the impeller on Scotts & Firestones. It is glued in place. I used a propane torch to heat around the housing mostly on the aluminum. Not much heat but enough to get the sealer sticky & it will release. While there you might replace the driveshaft seal too. I had two cases machined so I could install one seal up & the other down, You know, Keep the water out & gear oil in.

          Gradual heat on the aluminium. Thanks, Jeff.
          I don’t think that’s in the manual. Trade secret, I suppose 🙂
          I have a parts motor to practice on, so I can make one mistake LOL
