Sucess! I've got the older pump with the tapered shaft. Thought I might get away without even pulling the pump, but just couldn't get the seal out. Starting like it should again. I like some of the updates on this engine comared to the old 1.6. Almost everything is easier to deal with than on the older setup.
Didn't pull the bottom pulley off, it's tight so I left well enough alone. Just pulled the outer pulleys off. (put a new belt in while I was there). Thanks for the help guys!
Inner and outter pullies???
Glad you got it fixed
Yes, inners and outers. You can pull the v belt pulleys without taking the timing belt pulley off. Just undo the 4 allen head bolts, the v belt pulleys WILL come off . Sometimes it's a neat trick to get them without bending them though, some kind of a light lube patience and persuasion needed if there's a lot of dirt/corrosion (and there was).
Oh I see now. I thought you were refering to inner and outer pullies on the pump
