Water pump replacement

I didn't get a photo with the tools installed, but they sit in the gear cog. In short it prevents the gears from pushing against each other during tightening/loosening, and they also make sure the cogs are properly aligned when setting the assembled water pump back in place. Another thing to look for on the dry clutch is the main oil seal, ensure the small spring stays on it as it goes back over the clutch hub (where the clutch basket bolt holes are at)

When the clutch is in place you can lock up that gear train thru the trans/brake. The idler is on a eccentric and needs to be put such there is equal lash between the idler and the other 2 gears. Leave it alone and when you change the pump retain the original gear and hopefully everything is still aligned. If the backlash between the pump gear and the pump drive gear on the idler is the same as before you disassembled everything should be ok. The seal that seals the transition from the outer cases oil feed to the rod feed in the crank should be changed every time that covers off IMHO.
 
Unless you're buying water pumps on Temu or Ali Express it's nothing to piss and moan about.
If you don’t think Trump will try to plug this loophole or implement reciprocal tariffs, I’ve got some Melaniacoin to sell you. EU is planning to tariff US motorcycles so it’s only time… Also if that water pump is manufactured in China, it’s subject to tariff even if it passes through the EU

Dude, f’n stop already. No one cares. It’s going to be a long four years if you don’t get off this piss and moan, doom and gloom news cycle.
