The water pump comes handy in homes and the construction industry because of its importance to various sectors of the economy. Even in agricultural production the water pump is used. When it happens to break down it causes a lot of stress. This is why many people give a lot of importance to this device.
The water pump applies the same principle with combustion engines, it uses the belt pulley method to generate and pump water. So you need to take extra care of the water pump to avoid it having coolant leaks.
The coolant levels determine how your pump works. If the coolant levels drop the pumps burn out fast. Pump failure leads to engine dying. So how do you remove a failed water pump pulley from the pump?
FIRST OF ALL,In order to remove a failed water pulley from the pump the most important thing to do is clear the area of any impending structure. Start with things like housing and other stuffs. Press down the tension belt that keeps the pulley tightly in place by giving it a good slack.
THE SECOND TEP, check all the sprockets used as timers on the pump. A close look will reveal the timers movements either clock or anti clockwise. Always keep in mind that they are the real key to your water pump function.
Remove the belt pulley from the main body. You can either leave it loose or completely remove it. But most times it is best left hanging except on drastic occasions where you will have no other choice.
The timing belt or chain is next. This chain or belt is very important, as it carries the clockwork of the movement of the pumps through a channel of interlocking teeth. Make sure to note the direction of each interlocking teeth.
AND THE LAST STEP is to remove the water pump belt from the pump itself. You do not have to remove the whole belt just make sure you make it loose enough to remove the pump.
Apply the pulley tool as this exerts pressure on the shaft pulling off the pulley. Make the remover gradually tight and this will rotate the screws to the rotor and its side clips the other way. This will also be making the pulley come off without damaging or bending.
This tends to happen mainly due to the evenly distributed pressure. As long as you keep the pressure balanced you will have no problem with the belt pulley breaking or bending.
OK,then congratulation.
