Just bought the tools to change the water pump seal or rotary seal plus the oil seal behind it, total bill 138.07 it’s not itemized but about 35 bucks for the pusher plate 43.00 bucks for the water pump seal plate and then the rotary seal plus oil seal adds up to 138.07, I still have to get the four screws plus nut and washer to complete the job. I’m looking at the rotary seal and it slides over the shaft, but inside the seal there is no rubber ring or anything at all to prevent fluid from passing into weeping hole cavity, I’m wondering if this is why so many can am are leaking. I’ve seen rotaty seals at work and they all have some sort of seal on the inside that slips over the shaft, seems really cheap compared to crane seals or other industry pump seals. Asked the parts guy if this is common to wear out and he said to common. After all I only have 800 miles and around 125 hours of light use. Anyways I cannot see how the seal" seals on the shaft", but I can see how fluid can gets between the shaft and seal because its just metal on metal. Maybe i’m missing something here……. in the design of the seal but I will ask an engineer buddy if knows how it seals. No if the dealer here in Canada was to do the job he wants another 2.5 hours plus new antifreeze you are looking at over 400.00cnd, hard to believe, and they wonder why the shop service area is almost empty, everyone is trying to do it there selves. We should all send BRP a letter saying the Chinese machines are better because I know one guy who has one and he has not had these seal problems at all.
