I am Changing the Water Pump Seal on my 162F Turbo. Any techniques, tips, or "gotch-ya's" you all want to pass on? I assume it is best to pull the unit rather than trying to change it while the housing is on the aircraft.
I appreciate any help in advance!

I considered going electric, but I don't think I can afford it right now.

When you installed your electric water pump, what do you do for all the fittings and such upstream and downstream of the legacy water pump? Did you just cut them off the old water pump and reuse them or fabricate new?

Orv's website has a good tutorial as well.
