Now we're all back online again, I thought I'd repost my progress repairing this M waterpump. Hopefully it will be useful for anybody thinking about trying their own repair.
This particular pump is fitted to a 1947 British M wide front.
The pump was showing signs of leaking after standing dry for a few months over winter, so it was removed for a better examination. Once removed I found the bearings had a significant amount of slack. Unhappy with the idea of just swapping out the whole unit, I set about finding replacement components. Here's the story in pictures....
