Do I need to replace the entire water pump if the bearings are damaged or is it possible to just replace the bearings?

Hi,

The bearing is non-serviceable. They are sealed inside the pump. When they fail, the pump needs to be replaced as a unit.

I attached the directions below for you.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
