I purchased a new E35 Sherwood Raw Water pump for my Crusader engine. The problem I have is the piece that the pulley sits on is different the old pump has a plate that is 2.5" in dia the new pump has a plate that is 2 7/8". Is it possible to get the end off and swap it. I tried to use a gear puller but it will not budge. I tried looking for a new pulley but how will I know if it will line up? |

I figured I'd update this in case any one runs into this. I was able to pull the hub off the shaft while I was working on this I ordered a new pulley. The pulley came and although a little diffent in height it was the same diameter over all 5" I took a couple of measurements and it likes like it will line up with no problems at all. I guess the pump hub must have changed over the last 40 years  |

Good for you. Sorry, but I didn't have a worthwhile suggestion.

quick update. I installed the new pump and pulley combination and at first glance it looks like the pulleys don't line up. What I am wondering is how much is too much. I am going to get the exact measurement tonight but would like to know if I have to mess with it. The other option is to change the hub and put back the orginal pulley but I'm not 100% sure that they lined up either. Any ideas?

Hope you get it right,Brian.A lot depends on this running right.Can't afford to lose belts or pulley come off at 3000plus rpm....If not at all happy,get a new pump and don't look back...Todd |

I did by a new pump and it had a different hub on the shaft. I have sent the new pump to a local machine shop to press the hub off the new pump and replace it with the old hub. I broke 2 of my pullers trying to get it off I finally gave up and sent it to a professional. It will probably cost more than the pump. Hopefully it will be right when I get it back. |
