Water pump shaft issue. Bearing spun?
Hi guys
2011 ec 300. Just did the piston and power valve. When I took apart the case halfs I took the water pump shaft out. The plastic gear is worn where the cogs meet the metal drive gear so I plan on replacing it. The water pump shaft surface where it meets the inboard case bearing looks like it's been spun. What's funny is the inner bearing surface looks fine and the bearing moves free and smooth. When I insert the shaft into the inboard bearing it seems like there is some slop/wiggle room. Has anyone seen this? Should I be worried about this?
Normally I wouldn't mind just replacing it but where I live it takes forever to get parts if I can get them at all.
Pics to follow shortly as soon as I can get the photos from my phone onto the forum
