Default Re: Water pump is tough to spin. Normal?

"A bit of pressure to turn it", Binding", "Turn freely" are very subjective terms. There may be nothing wrong with the pump, just the owners expectation of what it should be like. IMO, if it was working well before, it will work well now so leave it alone. As Bob C said, the gland packing would prevent it spinning "freely". I suspect there is nothing wrong with it.
