Hi Guys
Has anybody managed to dismantle a Perkins 540 V8 water pump without destroying it? It is the one with the two shafts. The shaft with the impeller needs to be pushed out of the larger shaft with the bearings on it, Mine seem almost impossible to shift. Any ideas on how I can do it? I have access to a hydolic press. Dont want to break it and I am not sure that the body of the pump can withstand the force from the press.
Thanks
Bill

As Dave said,nut off, pulley off, take out the snapring holding the bearings in place. Now! With a press push on the shaft on the impeller end. This will push the shaft out of the impeller and the shaft and bearings will come out the other end. Make sure to leave enough room on the support end(pulley end of casting) for the bearings to come by.

Hi Bill,
Have not done a V8 but it will probably be similar to smaller Perkins/MF engines. The fan pulley will be held on by a locknut and key or pressed on. If it's pressed on, make a note of the position. Underneath you will find a circlip. The bearing will probably be a waterpump type double bearing unit or two seperate ones. Before these can be removed it will be necessary to remove the impeller on the rear of the pump. This can normally be done with a two or three leg puller. Overhaul kits generally come with a new impeller. Note the clearance between the impeller vanes and body. Excess will reduce water flow.
Once the impeller is off the shaft and bearings can be removed easily. The seal is pressed into the body. Make sure it is square. When the impeller is fitted it should make light contact with the inner face of the seal and give you the correct clearance. Apply plenty of grease during reassembly.
