Re: Axial Play in Water Pump Shaft
The collar will keep the shaft from sliding back and fourth,so it will keep the shaft at the pulled out toward the radiator. Ian, if you have to push in on the shaft to stop the leak, try tightening up the packing just until the leak stops. Do not over tighten it or you will score the shaft. If it still leaks then do as Chuck said and replace the shaft. Some one prior probably over tightened it and scored the shaft.
