Reply To: KG7 Water Pump Cover Removal

I also worked on this style many years ago with the same problem. Our answer was to take a hole saw just a little smaller than the pump cover,and weld it on the end of a pipe that was just a little larger in diameter than the drive shaft diameter, and longer than the driveshaft plus the thickness of the water pump cover, plus about one inch , then cut off one end of an old large allen wrench ( about two inches long ) and weld it on the upper end. Making sure to leave enough room for the drive shaft length plus the thickness of the water pump cover inside the pipe. try to make it as strait as possible,and don’t turn it to many RPM when cutting out the pump cover. Oh ! leave about one inch of the allen sticking out of the pipe to attach your drill motor.
