How is the best way to take pump apart to put in a new kit. Belt pulley looks like it might be fun. Thanks in advance

Thumbanger Have you bought your kit yet? I bought a rebuilt pump from napa for just over 50.00. Easier than installing a kit. Whatever Bernie Steffen

Thumbanger: Putting kits in C-123 water pumps is one of the poorest paying jobs in the western hemisphere.

If you can figure any way take the kit back and trade your pump for a rebuilt

I couldent agree with Hugh more within the last week I ordered a kit for my 123. Long story short I ended up braking the pump housing while it was in the press. Very poor design, try to return your kit and spend an extra 50.00 and get a new pump. If you decide to attempt it be sure to set the impellar to the proper clearance with a feeler guage, And when pressing the pulley back on there is a measurement that has to be used for proper clearance, If you need these numbers let me know.
