Hi Guys
Help please as the Nordwest water pump is leaking !
Seems that repair kits and new units are very hard to come by with refurbished exchange units very expensive. Any ideas please ?
Many Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
If you catch them when they just start to leak they are re-build able with new seals and bearings, go on the French Gilera club 'rapid mous'e website there is a very detailed description giving bearing and seal numbers, if you didn't catch it early enough you could be making a new stainless shaft if the impeller is knackered or the housing damaged it gets really serious, you need a good machine shop to help
Good luck
John

Thanks for that link to the French site. Very good information!

Thanks guys, good info indeed.
On the " Rapid Mouse" French site it seems to show only the bearing type and size, did anyone spot the seal details please, my French being pretty bad that is !!!
Thanks
Stephen

Hi Gaylord,
It is all there on the Rapid Mouse site
la garniture d'étanchéité de la pompe :

Hi guys,
Long story with regards to the re-build of the Nordwest water pump, hope fully will have some good and shareable news for owners in the UK.
Meanwhile does a technical doc exist that shows how to " strip" or maintain said item. Lost my manual and cannot find anything on the site!
Thanks
Stephen
