Water pump rebuild
There is a guy on e-bay who sells parts to rebuild 928 water pumps. I guess there is some variation in the different pumps used. Has anyone tried this?
It really does not look like too much of a job if you have a good press and some patience. The parts are only $33 which is a huge savings.

If you have a "virgin" never been touched Porsche factory pump (one that hasn't been already rebuilt 3-4 times)...you could try it...see post #2.

No friggen way would I touch one.
That pump is the weak point in a properly maintained 928 timing belt system, you want the absolute best one you can buy, regardless of costs.
