I was wondering if its possible to replace the thrust bearing without having to remove the engine?
Does the bearing slide out easily or is it a pain in the ass?!!!
The bearing is pressed on the shaft, the shaft comes out the front of the pump. If you don't want to pull the engine your only other option is to maybe slide the pump out the back, then remove the Impeller, front bearing cap, slide the shaft out the front of the pump. if you don't have a setback...pulling the engine is the best option (sorry)
