Suzuki Lt250r Water Pump Repair

This week I wanted to do a short little video covering replacing the water pump seals. I have seen alot of people asking questions regarding the mechanical seal. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe!!!

I recently replaced the impeller and shaft on my lt250r and when I crank the kick starter it looks like the impeller goes the opposite direction of the fins.. is this normal or is something backwards in the case that causes this? Thanks!

I rebuilt the pump on my 500 with the same problem, weep hole leaks and I replaced the oil seal, mechanical seal and a new shaft. Well, a good used one anyway. Only thing is it still leaks coolant into the crank. I noticed the bolt that holds the impeller on doesn’t have the rubber seal anymore. Would that be why my coolant is leaking into the crank?

Hey man I live in Cali and it’s hard to find parts for my 1991 lt250r Suzuki

When this seal is out does it cause coolint to mix with your oil?

bro I been looking for the impeller for an 89 lt250r for model h,j,k,l,m,n do u got an extra one for sale

[@duanespeck2316]

thanks man, this video saved me a lot of money.. I have a question, when should I change my water pump shaft?

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

the shaft will actually wear at the mechanical seal portion. so when you install a new seal and it continues to leak from the weap hole you know the shaft is no good

+Grinding Gears Garage awesome man, thanks. changed the mechanical seal today and continued to leak. thanks for the info. keep making the awesome vids

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

[@duanespeck2316]

Grinding Gears Garage i have a question, i changed the mechanical seal and the water pump shaft and its still lesking out of the weep hole. the only thing i can think i did wrong is i didnt put RTV around the mechanical seal. would that be causing my problem?

[@grindinggearsgarage9578]

no that shouldnt be a problem. did you replace the washer with rubber backing on the front and on the back of the impeller there is a ceramic seal as well
