Water Pump Rebuild
 
I have a Mazmart RE-medy that has served me well for 4 years. It appears that the seal went and allowed coolant to leak through at a rapid rate. Due to time constraints, I replaced it with an OEM unit from Mazda. The questions are...
  1. Can the RE-medy water pump be rebuilt?
  2. Is it a simple matter of getting new bearings and seals and pressing the impeller out from the housing?
  3. Has anyone donesthis with success?
  4. Is it worth it?

All thoughts/opinions are welcome.

You could try contacting Mazmart. I'm sure they will cut you a sweet deal on a remanufactured one using your impeller. :D:

Seriously though, I really appreciate you and all who have used our products and I do offer a rebuild program that uses a brand new Mazda OEM pump body, (Bearing and seal included). This would come with a renewed 12 month warranty as well. They are $160. The process of removing and installing the new impeller to proper depth is not a standard operation.

If you don't find an alternative, it would be my joy and honor to serve you again.

Paul.
