Replacing Sherwood water pump

[Clydo]

Am replacing Sherwood water pump in my 2003 C310. Any mystery? Just
remove two bolts holding pump to engine block pull straight out? Push
new pump in align shaft (flat end?) to fit in slot in shaft? in engine? Thanks
for any replies.

Are you sure you want to stick with the Sherwood? It's more work but I love my Oberdorfer pump. No more messing with backward bolts. http://forums.oday.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=139566

But if you are staying with the Sherwood it is very simple. The hardest part will be getting the fittings off of the old pump. Remember to use a thread sealant when you put them on the new pump.

Good luck,

Jesse

Clyde, Jesse's right. If you haven't yet bought the new Sherwood, consider switching to the Oberdorfer. It's simply a better pump, lasts longer, more easily rebuilt http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,6766.0.html.

Good luck.
