Problem wit h machining the pump hub is mounting the entire water pump assembly in a lathe. Terrific set up time and the hub would have to be dogged to the pump housing to keep it from freewheeling in the pump when the tool bit hit it.. I would be against any disassembly of the pump.

Using a mill and rotary index table is again terrific set up time.

Both methods qould require atleast a 12" lathe maybe larger and a rather large rotary index if mill cut.

Just TOO labour intensive.
