 Let me show you what this bad boy can do. Okay, so today we're going to replace mechanical water pump seal. There is a weep hole, I don't know if you can see where my finger is. It's down here underneath the water pump. It is leaking oil and coolant. So I already pulled the cover off and I've got the impeller nut loose. I'm going to take that off and always inspect the impeller. It actually looks in good shape and there's your mechanical water pump seal. So I bought myself a kit, I decided to do the upgrade with the billet impeller. I've got my new seal. This actually goes behind the mechanical water pump seal and actually I think that's what's leaking. But I'm going to have to replace both. So I'm going to show you a little trick with a slide hammer. See if that works and if that doesn't work then I'm going to have to slowly cut that out. We'll see what happens. At first I need to get that seal out. So I'm taking two screwdrivers, got it here, popped that off, broke the spring. Pull that out. Stick stuff out of here. The idea is to get everything out of here that you can. Then you can get to this and I want to drill a hole in that and use my dent puller and pull that out. Be careful you don't drill too far. You want to drill into the seal behind it. Except for the threads that my screws already worn out so I might have to put a new screw on here. Push the dent puller if that'll work. See if I can't get this out. There we go. That wasn't too bad. So I had to drill a couple holes around the perimeter. You can see there. And then I just grabbed it in with a screwdriver and pulled that out. And now you can see what the inside looks like. And then that's going to get my mess out of here. Then I've got to pull that rubber o-ring out. This came right out. Make sure you've got the orientation right when you put this back in. The flat side towards you. I'm going to grab some air and blow that all out. Clean it up really nice. That water pump seal is shot. So I got my new seal. It's going to go in the flat side towards me. The other side goes towards the engine so I'm going to grab a little oil. Put some oil on it so it slides in nice. I'm going to take a 11-16 inch socket because I believe that fits right in there. And we're going to go ahead and push this on. Nobody said this was an easy job. I'm going to grab just a little bit smaller socket because I think I'm putting it out. You can see that in there. Let me get you in a little closer. You can see I got that seal flush with the surface of the inside of the casting. And now I'm going to put the mechanical water pump seal on. Alright so when you install the seal. Usually a plastic PVC pipe comes with a kit. I thought I had it but this is actually for a 700. That's not going to fit. So I'm going to have to find a socket that will go around there. And that will just press right in. So I followed a 1-inch socket. It actually fits over the top of this. You want to make sure it doesn't hit the side of that. So that will drop right in there. I'm going to go ahead and install that. And then just tap it in. A little bit more on top. This is the first time to put that in. Come with this little seal washer that goes on there. And you just want to snug that up until there's a little bit of pressure on there. Make sure it's pressure on there. It's tight. Make sure it doesn't spin. Now I have to clean the surfaces off of here. And then put my water pump cover back on. Hook everything up. And that's how you do a mechanical water pump seal on a Polaris 500. Hope you enjoyed this video. Hit the thumbs up if you liked it. And like always, until next time.
