60 hp water pump removal
Hello all,
I recently picked up a 1937 60 hp. The water pumps are froze up and won't turn with out a lot of force. I bought rebuild kits from Mac at Van Pelts and he is a great source of info but I'm still looking for a little help. Is there a place I can buy the proper wrench to remove the pumps ? They are the internal type and I believe a spanner wrench is needed . I would appreciate any leads on repair manuals also. It will run if I pour gas down the carb so now I'm going thru from the gas tank forward to clean her up. Thanks ,Ted |

Re: 60 hp water pump removal
I found a spanner wrench, the kind used for fire hoses, works pretty well. Marvin

Re: 60 hp water pump removal
Thanks Marvin.
I was told a plumbers wrench would work , but the ones I've found at the box stores are not up to the job. There's not much room with the fan pilots on and I don't want to break them. |

Re: 60 hp water pump removal
Hi tbauer : I use an old J. H. Williams adjustable hook spanner # 471, 3/4" - 2".
Mc Master Carr list one as part # 5471A11 in my old catalog. You can try online for a current price. I have attached a picture. Most V8 60 HP pumps are/were removed or tightened by using a punch and hammer so the notches may be not as sharp to catch the spanner. Lots of soaking and patients will go along way. There are two styles, tapered and straight. The newer kits should cover both. The pulleys tend to break. Once apart square up the notches. Gary in MN spanner.jpg |

Re: 60 hp water pump removal
You need to tell everyone if your pump's threads are tapered or square into the bore...
