I need help finding a pump shaft seal...
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 4:16 pm
So my Meziere intercooler pump started making some funny noises. I took it apart and found that the pump seal was leaking and that the bearing inside was rusted as fuck.
I called Meziere and they refused to sell me the parts to fix it, saying my only option was to pay shipping both ways to them, and they would rebuild it at their inflated fees.
Well I went on McMaster and started looking around. The bearing that failed had a number on the side, so I looked that up, and found the right bearing I needed. It was a basic .500ID 1.125" OD ball bearing. When it came to the pump seal, I looked around their site and ordered a generic .500" ID 1.125" pump shaft seal. I didn't know if it would be the correct one but I ordered it for the hell of it. Well it showed up, and it is the incorrect style. The one I recieved is a two piece design, like most the others I'm finding on the internet. Does anyone know where I can find this part, or perhaps what type/name it is so I can try to find one?
Here are some pics of the failed parts..
I pulled the seal off the old bearing to look inside...
If you notice, the original bearing is a one-piece design with a metal face on the top. That metal face extends through the center and is 'flared out' at the bottom to hold the assembly together..
