Just rebuilt my pump, the easy way.

[LouDoo]

I just rebuilt the pump from my 96GSX, it was so easy. What made it easy was Dr Honda's pump tools, what use to take like hours took maybe 20mins. In the past I've used sockets, a cut off ratchet handle and it was always guess work. These tools make it easy and take all the guess work out of the job, and the price if right too.

Yep, the tools made it so easy I had to wonder if I had missed a step or something.

When you buy bearings/seals to rebuild your pumps do you get them from the dealer or do you buy a kit from like sbc? I guess does oem vs aftermarket make a big difference in performance/lifetime?

Nice! Any allignment required, or just swap out the bearings and lube?

you need to be careful getting them started so they go in straight, after that the important part is that they are set to the correct depth to ensure proper lubrication.

as for the kits, most of the various sites sell "rebuild kits" that will come with the two bearings, thrust bearing and washer, and a new seal. i have had good luck with osd parts . com as they use oem quality or better bearings, and better quality seals that won't cut a groove in the impeller shaft. i replaced everything but the pump housing on mine with parts from them.

:agree: I use OSD also, a few dollars more but first quality.
