Re: Remanufactured water pumps vs. new

The reman water pumps do hold up and the o ring for hose hose tube does come with them including the gasket.The ones from Carquest hold up very well.Here is another tip:Instead of scraping the gasket alot,use a die grinder with a stainless steel wire cup that will not hurt the gasket suface.Wear safety glasses and ear protection since the die grinder is loud and the little wires do come out.I do this way a lot if I do not have to do a lot of scraping.The special wrench to get the fan off is a big waste of money,too thin.I use an air hammer with a long bit and position the bit on the flat of the nut and put pressure on it.Hit the trigger and the fan should come loose.
