It never rains ,it pours .But remember if it was easy we would all be doing it,which is why your making a video and we are all watching.

[@HanSolo__]

The water hose actually holds the pump cover very tight, so you need to push it while doing it with the cover itself. Also, I don't recommend using a big screwdriver to place it inside from the top and get leverage out there because of the propeller and its axis are quite fragile. EDIT: I just watched a bit more of the video and yeah, the pump axis is a fragile thing.

I can feel your pain, I made a rookie mistake of stripping a sump plug before using a cheapo torque wrench I just sat there in slight shock thinking what to do next staring at the damn thing.

[@djvugts5510]

This series is amazing! Thanks for teaching me all this stuff. You're hilarious by the way.

[@motorcyclerefurbishment8162]

Looks like corrosion on the dowels, these probems happen all the time with old bikes, good time to look on eBay for second hand replacements. Looks like it will be a full tear down, no stone left unturned.........love the videos Matt

[@dirtygarageguy]

+ROY Dean A replacement impeller is £15 which I thought wasn't too bad, until I looked at the price of the shaft £23.74! Then I nearly passed out when I saw a gasket kit was £66! lol

[@motorcyclerefurbishment8162]

+Pony Power..........I would be thinking about using the old gasket,,,,and cutting them out of gasket material...where I could,,,,,.....maybe at this stage keep an eye on eBay is case something turns up.....

[@zeljkodejanovic8786]

Is the same CDI suitable for all those models ER-5 / KLE 500 / GPZ 500 / EKS 500

[@valiza911]

why are you not using wd-40 to remove rust and loosen stuck metal parts like screws, bolts, nuts or the wather pump?

[@corneilcorneil]

Because he know everything better.

[@KOTR2003]

I am positive you knew at the time, but for anyone watching this that may NOT know, the water pump impeller is reverse threaded.

[@tonymartin3780]

You slagged Delboy off for using a screwdriver as a lever 😩

[@hughfrancis1509]

[@الرامبوالشاغوري-ط4ض]

[@mariusm5187]

Sorry to see the water pump was less than cooperative with you :(

[@dirtygarageguy]

+Mariusmssj M As you can tell I was proper pissed off with myself. But shit happens, gotta move on

[@mariusm5187]

+Pony Power Is it going to cost a lot of the part?

[@dirtygarageguy]

yeah, the impeller and the shaft cost £37!

[@dirtygarageguy]

Its not the cost its the fact that I have to buy another thing I didn't expect thats all
