Cheers for the info, now waiting for the tig to finnish..
Meanwhile, the sleeve i've hi-lited is included in part 3 ( E - 8 ) right? Seal set is on order, but im not too sure how to remove the sleeve, its kinda tight fitting..
Its REAL tight in there, i used a combination of heating up the surrounding aluminium (dunno if that made it expand away from the sleeve thing, or clamp onto it tighter...) and thrashing it out with a well chosen drift. The thing is with the drifting it out plan is that you have to set the job up so that you can give it a f**king good smack and that all your hammer energy goes into the part you're trying to get out. If you're not working on a good solid bench top and don't have a way of keeping the clutch cover from jumping around when you hit it, then your life will be harder than it has to be. I started off tapping it like a girl because i wasn't sure how it was fixed into the clutch cover but once i was sure it was just a tight interference fit i gave it the brutality it deserved and out she popped.
To get the new one in, i actually put it in the freezer for half an hour to shrink it. When the time came, i heated up the clutch cover with my heat gun (a glorified hair drier if you've never used one), pulled the water pump sleeve thing out of the freezer and tapped it home with another well chosen drift. Whether the heating and cooling was worth the trouble i don't know but that whole carry on saw me to eventual success. _________________ After years of moaning about immigrants now i am one...
The sleeve in water pump was actually glued in , no wonder it needs a good belting Box is back in, waiting for parts to arrive to refit the water pump. Made sure that lil spring leg is not intruding.
