Call Miwest Action Cycle. 800-343-9065. Never a hassle with part numbers or getting OEM parts.

Might be time for a new water pump shaft if you are having repeat seal failures.

Well looking at my Clymer Manuel I see I should have packed the seal with grease. I didn't bother to consult the Manuel the last time because it seemed like such a easy job. Thanks for the tips.

Any time you install a seal you should put a light coat of grease on the seal surface and the shaft.
