I have read, and searched here but couldnt find data, that you can replace the seals and bearings in an LT1 water Pump. Can you? Do you know where to get the parts needed?
I dont want an "Go electric Waterpump" statement, thats not what I am asking. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can! A buddy of mine bought a kit from a website one time. I can't remember exactly which one though

Well if you can find out, I would appreciate it.

Im not trying to be a ***** or anything, but why not just get a reman from autozone or something like that. I think it was like 90$ when I did mine last spring. Again, not trying to be a *****, just seems like a ton less work.

Steve40th

You are not being a *****. There are many prices available on Autozone and its a 109 bucks here and over 150 at home in Hawaii. Autozone does their priceing by zip code. I have a couple LT1 water pump in need of repair, the one on the car and one in my hotel here in Wasington. I have a very capable machine shop at home, so why not rebuild it myself. Its a seal and a bearing. There are companies from Valucraft? and Cardone that rebuild them and make some profit off of them, so why not rebuild it myself.
I also wont go electric as I autocross and there is a bar right in front of the water pump that wont allow me to physically fit a electric water pump.

well it's basically all one assembly, and I have yet to find a website or source that sells privately components to rebuild our Water Pumps.

Steve40th

There has to be parts. It can be taken apart, and people sell rebuilt ones?
Bearing and a seal. Just need to find the part numbers.

Ill run it by my parts guy (he lives next door) and see if he can grab #'s for the assembly.
