Title: Water Pump
Post by: Go Fleiter on October 30, 2006, 01:23:30 AM
Dear all!
My new Waterpump has no grease fitting.
Is this a hint that it has no friction bearing but a roller bearing?
Any signs (outside)  to tell a roller bearing pump from a normal one?
At NAPA Website, I saw a picture of their pump without fitting too.

Thanks! Go

Your new pump has a sealed double ball bearing, just like most modern pumps.  Sadly, they don't seem to last any longer than the ones you can grease.
