Trying to rebuild the bowl of my pump, the rest is done. How do you get the 2 bronze bushings out of the bowl? I need to now, as I have mangled them trying get them out...no turning back now. Thanks...

I found a socket with a close OD and pounded 'em out with an extension. Carefully. :boxed:

el-cheapo seal/bearing driver from Har-Ber freight works just dandy.

I machined a piece of bar stock to fit the bushings then pressed out with a hydrolic press.They did not come out easy.

Well, went to a machine shop and got them to press out the bushings. Unfortunately, the press took a little more than necessary out. It pushed out the inside of the bowl...GREAT...so I am gonna pinch the bowl off my dads boat for the time being. The machine shop said he could fix the broken bowl better than new for 350 CDN. Anyone know if this is a problem that can be fixed or am I further ahead to buy a new/used bowl? Thanks

I didn't spend much time searching, but I would see if www.rexmar.com has the same thing.

Don't think that will work...it tore the bushings out as well as the spot for the seal, not to mention a 3-4" section of the bowl where the seal and bushings go...

You pay a shop to press some bushings out and THEY destroy the part, then want to charge you $350 to fix what THEY broke???

small part or not, if it was a competent machine shop it shouldn't have mattered. They really should fix it for free. With that much damage i wouldnt fix it, i'd get them to give you some money towards another bowl like a two piece style. Better off in the long run.
