That said Advance Auto has remanufactured ones for $41 so don't spend too much on the parts. The impeller I would reuse if it looks good.

that guy has rebuilt a water pump for a friend of mine and is going to rebuild mine, my friend coated his housing in ceramic and im doing the same and the only way to is to take everything apart and getting them rebuilt. I dont know what all is involved but we take our pump apart, coat the housing and send everything to him and about $60 later they are rebuilt. Only way to powdercoat your water pump.
