I've been lurking on this board for some time now, but had never actually had to post until now. I just changed my water pump last weekend, which went pretty well. I may have cursed out the impeller key a few times, but it all worked out. My issue is that I found an extra o-ring when I was cleaning off my workbench which I foolishly overlooked on the install. From looking at the parts diagram, there are only two. One inside the housing beneath the metal insert which I installed. The other appears to go on the driveshaft, above the grommet. I did install the grommet, but missed the little o-ring. It is part#73 from the below diagram.
Do I really need need to pull the whole thing apart for this? I may be wrong, but from my understanding of how it works, it doesn't seem that this will be a huge problem. Please help me out. Thanks.
