Hello all,
I have a slow leak in the area of my water pump. I am told that it is most likely the water pump seal. Is this a job that I can do myself in my garage. I am NOT a mechanic, but work on and mod. my own ATV's and Waverunners superficially. What is the best way to get to the water pump? Flipped on its back with the skid plate off??

Thanks.

BB

 

Best way to get at the water pump. with engine on the bench

 

Here is a easy way for the 500 motor if that helps. ATV Time :: View topic - Water Pump Mechanical Seal how to replace - 2001 Sportsman

 

The 500 water pump is an entire different animal
