Universal M12 Raw Water Pump Replacement

bmiller · 13-10-2009, 09:38

Here is the current raw water pump.

And from the top you can see the bolts come in from the back. A real bitch to change the impeller. Especially if you need to do it in a hurry.

Is there an aftermarket solution to this?

If only they all came as easy as yours to access---try short series ratchet ring spanners .

Tis easier to remove the pump.

Or you could reroute your hoses for eaier access.

Speed seal won't work, the impeller is in the outer housing with the hoses attached.
Now just pulling the entire pump is a pretty good idea. That way the back is more accessable.
I'd still like to find a replament pump that will allow something like the speed seal.
