but a couple of diagrams or photos of the proper way and places to support the casting while pressing would be in order before suggesting it be done by someone for the first time. I recall a couple of people who tried to repair their pumps and wound up with a broken casting because of inadequate support or because it was in the wrong spots.

I would suggest Patrician Industries. Kanter does almost no Packard parts anymore.

I go my last pump from Max Merritt on exchange with a $100 core charge.

Do not base what a dealer has or does based on their website as most haven’t been updated since they were first created. Call or email them to ask.

Thanks, I saw that Max had pumps in stock which is an option. Core charge doesn't really matter for me as I'm in England.
Does anyone have experience of pressing out the water pump shaft with the plastic impeller which mine has. I saw somewhere this usually breaks when plastic as the metal centre doesn't extend far enough through to support..? Also does this usually wreck the bearing..? I've got nothing to lose by trying and the seal looks to be standard 5/8" which I'm sure I could find a match. Any advice appreciated, thanks.

You would first have to press the shaft off of the pulley hub, then press the shaft assembly off of the water pump body then somehow press the shaft out of the impeller. Very likely it will randomly shatter at one of these steps.

Hi, thanks for reply... pressing the pulley hub off the shaft should be OK, am I right in thinking that the shaft and bearing press out forwards by pushing on the shaft centre of the impeller..? the shaft at the impeller end looks to be a smaller diameter.
