Changing Grease In The Cup

Changing the lubricant In the water pump grease cup does not impress the average car owner as, being of any importance, yet' it is a part of car care that often goes a long way toward eliminating trouble. THE small check ball m some of these "marine type" grease cups sometimes does not work properly. As a result water from the pump works up into the cup and hardens the ordinary grease cup grease enough to make it useless as a lubrjcant. To avoid this it is a good plan to remove the grease cup occasionally and clean it out. to In the meantime, of course, the cup should be screwed down tightly at regular intervals m order to assure the pump shiift its full share of lubricant. Pump shafts have been known to warp when overheated through lack of lubricant combined with engine overheating as a result of loss of water.
