955991 Volvo.Penta O-ring

At operating temperature, the engine cooling system is hot and under pressure. Steam can cause personal injury. Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped and the fill cap on the radiator is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Remove the fill cap slowly to relieve pressure. Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin and eyes to prevent personal injury.
1. Remove plug (1) and drain remaining coolant.2. Loosen clamps (2) and slide hose (3) onto tube assembly.3. Identify and disconnect wires (4).4. Disconnect hoses (5) and (6).5. Remove two bolts (7) and two bolts (8).6. Remove water pump and gaskets. The following steps are for the installation of the water pump.7. Position gaskets and water pump. Install bolts (7) and (8).8. Connect hoses (5) and (6).9. Connect wires (4).10. Slide hose (3) onto water pump and tighten clamps (2).11. Install plug (1).10. Fill the cooling system to the correct level. Refer to the "Operation & Maintenance Manual."End By:a. install hoodDisassemble & Assemble Water Pump
Start By:a. remove water pump The water pump seal can be replaced without removing the water pump from the engine.An intermittent leakage of a small amount of coolant from the hole in the water pump housing is not an indication of a water pump seal failure. This is required to provide lubrication for the seal. Replace the water pump seal only if a large amount of leakage or a constant flow of coolant is observed draining from the water pump housing.1. Remove O-ring seal (3) from adapter (4). Remove the adapter from housing (7). Remove the O-ring seal from the outside of the adapter.2. Remove bolt (1) and washer (2). Use Tooling (A) to remove impeller (6) from shaft (13).3. Remove spring and seal (5) from the shaft.4. Remove four bolts (16) from retainer (12) that hold the shaft assembly to the pump housing. Remove O-ring seal (18) from housing (7).5. Remove gear and shaft assembly (17) from the housing. Remove bolt (15), retainer (14), and retainer (12) from the shaft assembly.6. Use a press to remove shaft (13) from the gear. Remove bearing (9), spacer (10), and bearing (11) from the shaft.7. Remove lip-type seal (8) from the housing.8. Turn the housing over, and remove ceramic ring (20) and seal (19) from the housing. The following steps are for the assembly of the water pump.9. Use 6V-1541 Quick Cure Primer and clean shaft (13) and the seal counter bore in the pump housing.10. Install bearing (9), spacer (10), and bearing (11) on shaft (13).11. Put retainer (12) and gear (17) on the shaft assembly. Install retainer (14) and bolt (15) on the shaft.12. Use Tooling (B) to install lip-type seal (8) in housing (7). Install lip-type seal (8) with the lip toward the inside of housing (7). Put a small amount of clean SAE 30 Weight Oil on the lip of the seal.13. Install a new O-ring seal (18) on the housing.14. Put gear and shaft assembly (17) in position in the housing. Install bolts (16) that hold retainer (12) to the housing.
Clean water only is permitted for use as a lubricant for assistance at installation. Do not damage or put hands on the wear surface of the carbon ring or the ceramic ring. Install the ceramic ring with the smoothest face of the ring toward the carbon seal assembly.
15. Put ceramic ring (20) in position in seal (19). Use hand pressure and Tool (C) to install the ceramic ring in the housing.
Avoid contaminating the seal faces with grease or oil. Also, avoid stretching the rubber seal during installation.
The carbon seal assembly must rotate with the water pump shaft after installation.16. Separate spring and seal (5). Use hand pressure and Tool (C) to install the seal on the shaft of gear and shaft assembly (17). Push the seal on the shaft until the seal faces make light contact. Install the spring on the shaft.17. Put impeller (6) in position on the shaft. Install washer (2) and bolt (1) that hold the impeller. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 39 3 N m (29 2 lb ft).18. Install the O-ring seal on the outside diameter of adapter (4). Put a small amount of clean SAE 30 Weight Oil on the O-ring seal.19. Install O-ring seal (3) on the adapter.20. Put adapter (4) in position on the housing.End By:a. install water pump
