Yanmare 2qm20 raw water pump removal
Can anyone give me some advice on removing my raw water pump? I've
unscrewed the top 2 but the bottom seems to be really tricky, I've tried 10mm, 11mm, 5/16 wrenches to take it off but it keeps slipping off(it's a little rusted) and everything else doesn't seem close to fitting it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jimmy Endeavour 32. |

try a quality penetrating oil like PB Blaster , just spray some on,
let it soak, sray some more on, let it soak, give it a couple days of repeat applications & do not rush, after a minimum of three or four days try the tightest 6 point socket or boxend wrench you can get on there, skip the 12point or open end wrenches as they will likely make things worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jimmy Endeavour 32. In a pinch (after PB Blaster, etc), I'll give the head a couple of smacks with a hammer and try the best-fitting 6-point socket. I have a manual impact driver and found that the hammer blows seemed to do as much good on motorcycle fasteners as anything else. The driver simply combined that with a slight twist. [Sears may still sell the things, BTW. They're handy for certain tasks like this.] If that fails, I'll carefully use vice-grips on it and/or carefully grind the head to the next smaller size. You'll have to replace the bolt(s), of course. Sounds like the edges are already worn down. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
