i have an fyi.

when joe back yard mechanic does a rebuild on a model A water pump 9 times out of ten he will not line up the rear bushing properly. he will drive the bushing in and it will block the hole in the casting where the grease is pumped onto the shaft.

if that back grease fitting will not accept grease this is probably the issue.

i have had to fix so many pumps that have had the bushing installed wrong.

yes use the correct grease.
