Water Pump Drive Install. How do you do it?
Ok to make this real clear this time, I am talking about the water pump Drive that is located inside the timing cover that the end sticks through the timing cover. It has a bearing on the back of it and is pressed into the block just above the cam shaft. I also has a gear on it that is direct drive from the gear located on the back of the cam timing gear sprocket. This IS NOT the coupler, It is also Not the seal. I got the tools to remove and install it. I understand how the removal tool works but how do you reinstall it? Has anyone here ever done this? I have a factory manual that says use tool bla bla bla to reinstall but not really how to do it. Or I just have not found that part in the manual yet. Need some help.

Might be able to use a C-clamp in the lifter valley and a big deep socket over the drive mechanism to press it in.
I've never reinstalled one, but that's probably what I would try before the hammer.

Look, I just did this.. You can pound it out from the back. To reinstall, lube the race and the screws to it's mount plate will effortlessly press it back into place by simply tightening them evenly until they stop. Then tighten them to 100in lbs .Obviously the cam gear must not be installed untill the WP gear is in place. Try not to over complicate this.. It's child's play
