Read thru Cli55ers Custom Clipper blog as he has some pages with his experiences on water pump rebuilding. I think he found some individual pieces and maybe an impeller but do remember he had some other issues. His experiences might help you avoid any problems.

On the vibration damper puller get or make something that has jaws that reach far enough in to pull behind the inner piece to get the ends close to the shaft. Pulling on just the edges of the outer circumference of the damper is almost a guarantee that on old dampers you will separate the two pieces at what is probably a dried rubber vulcanization. You might be able to rent something or if you have a welder and scrap steel you might be able to sort of copy the factory tool.
