I'm needing to disassemble for cleaning and painting. I have looked at the scamatic and am still unsure. In my gasket kit there are two felt seals that I'm not sure where they go...I am thinking they are for the water pump. With that said, if they are not and I need to reassemble the pump, what can I use for packing? Without having to order it. Or, should I just leave the pump assembled, tape off the problem areas for blasting and leave it at that? Also...I'd like to pull the impeller out and blast it as it is very corroded, but if I decide not to repackage will reinstalling the shaft hurt the packing?
Just curious what you other restorers have done? Don't wanna buy a new pump...bearings feel/appear to be great shape.
Thx, Chance
