the other is fixed on the housing. If the contact surfaces of these two parts are worn
or scratched, the mechanical seal may cause water leaks and should be replaced.
23) Replace the bearing inside the housing using a fitting tool, if the bearing is worn or
scratched.
Note: Replacing the bearing requires a fitting tool. If one is not available, replace the
whole housing. Be sure to install the O-ring.
