Hi guys, once again working on my water pump situation . I have a 31 roadster and the water pump is a leakless rebuild. the pump shaft is moving about 1/4or1/8 in. and I have to remove it to check the collar, maybe loose? . I have the fake studs installed, and a one piece alum. 2 blade fan on it. can I remove the pump assembly without removing the upper and lower radiator hoses , and without removing the hood and radiator support bars?. IF THIS WAS A BREAK DOWN ON THE ROAD AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PUMP WOUL THIS BE THE PROCEDURE ??. Right now i'm just getting started and before I go to far I figured the question has merit. and how can I check the shaft clearance once the pump is in hand?? thanks again for all the replies THE HOOCH
