Water pump propeller wheel

BillyAR15 · 02-20-2021, 08:46 AM

Hey all, been lurking here for awhile. Lots of great information. I need to replace a water pump seal, but I’m not sure how to get the propeller wheel off to get to it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

By the way it is a 2016 RX3. I have tried to hold the prop with a flat head screw driver but that didn’t work....

it looks like it is all held together with snaprings from the parts explosion. once you get those off i would assume the wheel just slides off or maybe gets pressed off the shaft.

Try putting it in gear. I think it will loosen before the engine cranks over.

Any Ideas on how to remove this? I’m guessing that’s the seal?
