EA82 waterpump replacement


Recommended Posts

they make brass wire wheels that work just fine. the brass is softer than the steel wire wheels. I use my 18v dewalt on highspeed and havent had any problems. Hell I took off an old head gasket before and it didnt hurt the head so I say go to town with the wire wheel

I don't think I have ever put in an Oem o ring on the water pump, and I have not had trouble. I do make sure the pump surface is good, and the steel tube groove is clean. On some, I did use a small amount of rtv to seal the ring to the groove, as it was not in rhe best shape. More recently, I have been using a little bit of plumber's silicon grease on coolant hoses and o rings. Let's the move a bit and seal up, also, the hoses are not stuck on when I have to remove them.
