P700 water pump leaking

[white trash]

how hard is it to change an o ring on a water pump,, mine is leaking thru the weep hole tube ,,,

Hard...
One sec.

I did mine. It was a pain. If I had to do it again I would stand it up on the rear and do it.
Here is some pictures - 700 Water Pump Replacement | The Honda Side by Side Club!
Make sure you have a rubber hose on the weep tube. that will help prevent water from entering by creating a pressure seal.
Kinda like a straw with your finger on one the top. Same idea.

do I need to replace the water pump or just the seal,,,and do I need to run the hose higher up,,, maybe a longer hose attached to my snorkel,,it has a factory hose on it,, and thanks for the info,,it helped a lot,

 

[Hondasxs]

You can't just replace the seal. You have to replace the pump.
No, don't run it into your snorkel. Just make sure it is there.
See it in this picture after new install.

OEM included one but it most likely came off.

I should ask how bad is it leaking? If you can smell it while riding then it is too much.
But if it is small drop, say like when parked after a ride, then I would not mess with it. Honda says it is common for a small amount to leak.
If it is still dripping after 24 hours parked then replace.

it leaks running and sitting ,,, filled the radiator up rode about an hour or so parked it and it was low the next day and noticed it was leaking from the weep hole... the dealership told me it was the o ring and that I could replace just that ,, o ring is like 6 bucks,, just wanted some feed back on replacing it ,, and if special tools were needed,,i did fill it the next day and ran it at idle and only lost around a half a cup ,,

the oem tube is still on it ,,,, just leaking,,, and on this system do I have to bleed it,,the dealership said about 3 bottles of coolant ,,does thst sound right

 

[Hondasxs]

hum... I'm not sure about that. Honda does not list those parts if so.
It had to be put together so I'm sure it could be done if you can find the right seals.
I have always just replaced the entire pump.
The part you need is the unlisted one between 10 and 3.

 

[Hondasxs]

total volume is 3.6 US qt + .4 US qt in reserve tank.

10 is the one they said they have ... and the one that is leaking,, my local shop that rebuilt the engine said that the o ring behind the weep hole is all that is needed,, I just thought it was like a truck if is leaking from the weep hole the water pump was bad ,, but he said no ,,just change the o ring so I don't know ,,, but they do sell the o ring and have them in stock ,,,

You need to research it more then.

My stance is...
That it is non serviceable.
Part #10 is the engine oil seal. You can see it here.

 

[Hondasxs]

Oh.. BTY, you will need to drain the oil. So good time for a oil change.

BUT...
I did a Rincon without draining the oil.
Drained the coolant then stood it up. That way all the oil goes to the back of the motor.
We also closed off the crank case breather tube just to be safe.

well I got a rebuild kit for the water pump today wasn't to bad ,, took about 20 minutes for entire job,,, the mechanical part was broke causing water to come out the seep hole...thank you again for all the info...

 

[Hondasxs]

What all did it involve.
Thanks.

gasket part# 19226-hn8-000 o ring 91302-mb-013 mechanical seal,19217-mal-300...this is what no one shows,,,,oil seal 91201-965-000...remove water pump take apart remove propeller ,,, beat mech seal out and install oil seal and new mech seal,,,put back together ,,,but total job took maybe 30 minutes,,, bout 80 bucks for everything including coolant...

 

[Hondasxs]

Figures. Lol
You didn't happen to take any pictures did you? That's ok.

This seems like a better way to go for sure.
Hate Honda does not list it this way. Even the manual doesn't show it.
That's the way to go. $40 vs $140!

Thanks for the info.

 

[white trash]

i didn't take any pics,,,, the dealership I went to showed me the same pic you posted and said theres a note about the the internal part,, that's how I found out about it,,,but there a video on youtube showing one being rebuilt I think it a rubicon but same way

My 2018 pioneer 700 is exactly 28 days out of warranty and is leaking from the water pump. Took it to dealer they tell me so sorry but that water pump is non-serviceable need to buy a new one. I believe my Honda days are about over with. Have owned many and they were always built right and reliable not so much these days.
