I am trying to grease the water pump on our '28 roadster. The front fitting accepts grease, but the back one does not. I have removed and cleaned the fitting and checked the passage way; they were both OK. What's going on? I am concerned that the grease hole on the rear bushing may not be aligned with the housing grease hole. I have checked the depth (seems short) and tried to feel rotation with my probe while rotating the shaft...nothing. Any ideas? Is it possible to rotate the bushing without removing the pump?
