Lots ofrebuildkits forVolvowater pumps. Don't know which one is for
your application, but it says you can even call them to ask. Dude, you've
got to learn to Google!
Nope, already looked at the pump rebuild kits, and called the Volvo
dealer who told me to buy a new pump. No kit for my pump which is
part # 3851623. Tore it all the way apart and got a number off the
seal. Spent 3 hours searching and finally found this metric seal.
Easy to get in UK and Australia. Only one place here in US (on web
anyway). Found it at Torresen Marine and the seal is from a generator
water pump. http://www.torresen.com/
Seal - Water Pump Jabsco 50340-001 16X28X7 2700-1027
The 16x28x7 is the metric sizes 16mm shaft diameter, 28mm bore
diameter (seal is slightly larger than that for sealing fit 28.2mm),
and 7mm width. Had to make sure it was water sealing capable, not
just oil seal. There was a small groove on the shaft where the old
seal rode that I buffed out so the shaft should not tear up the new
seal. The seal cost less than $7, so I ordered 2, shipped for
$20.69. Hope it goes back together OK. I plan to freeze the saft and
heat the pulley before pressing back together. Very tight fit. Had
to use a pulley puller to get it off. Wrote this detailed description
so the next guy who runs across this problem can Google and go.
Really sucks that Volvo doesn't support their products any better than
that.

So the seal is for a Jabsco water pump?
