kencombs Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I think I'd be tempted to measure and mark the shaft. Then remove the pump and take it to the press. With a large bearing splitter behind the mounting flange it would be fairly easy to move it forward to line up, without any extraneous parts. Quote

With a large bearing splitter behind the mounting flange it would be fairly easy to move it forward to line up, without any extraneous parts. If it is like the early version of the pump on my car then that flange has been drilled and pinned. In addition, the shaft end play is set by the location of the flange. So probably not quite that easy to move the flange and probably a bad idea to do so anyway. Finding or making the proper spacer seems the best course of action. Second best would be to use some washers to space the pulley out. Quote
DJ194950 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I had to adjust the mount on the Chinese water pump I got from Rock auto to align the belts - back some 1/8+" . Maybe if move out something like these from Speedway? DJ Quote

That spacer would be easy to fabricate, wouldn't even have to be round. A hole saw, drill four holes, cut out the blank and you're done. The pulley would be the pattern.

keithb7 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Posted December 22, 2021 Sure make 30 of 'em. Sell 'em on E-bay. Then Mopar Pro will buy one, copy it perfectly and cut you out of the market. Ask me how I know? Lol. 1 Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted December 22, 2021 Report Posted December 22, 2021 Mikey ....AKA Moparnopro is ruthless in selling, copying and reproducing parts. Quote
keithb7 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Posted December 22, 2021 I’ve got lots to say about Moparpro but I’ll leave it alone. Just beware there are plenty of offshore reproduced, poor fitting parts on the market. 1 Quote
