Re: Replace Water Pump in a 1955

Dave - thanks for input. The pump is out and the fan blade & hub repainted. Tight fit and the use of a short stud or two seems like a necessity.

I didn't want to get to the point where all the pump stuff was loose and just hanging there only to figure out the radiator must come out. It would seem that the 6 or so bolts holding the radiator were easy, but that short hose at the bottom looked like a nightmare from hades.

The last install had the oiling hole at 9 o'clock. I'm planning on at noon. They had also used copper washers on the pump.
