·Does one remove the front engi
Does one remove the front engine cover in order to get at the bearings, or just the water pump cover?
I just ordered two water pump bearings, and the guy at Rutlands told me that most dealers just replace the outward bearing in a major. It would appear that the inner bearing is harder to get at.....or, the outer one can be replaced by removing just the oil pump cover, whereas the inner one has to have the front engine cover removed? This sounded strange to me, because, if you don't replace BOTH (as a preventative method), then why replace just the easier ONE!!!!!....makes no sense. I feel, that if you don't replace both, then leave both alone.
