Will a 96148Q8 kit work? Thanks
Yes- just different packaging.

Awesome! That you for your help. Any advice when replacing it? This will be my first time taking it down. Thanks
Sure- check out the FAQ Post at the top of the Forum, Sherm's Water Pump Tips (Water Pump Replacement) is right there.
Only things I would add is that I prefer to change in NEUTRAL, and you should NEVER use "grease" on the impeller. Dawn Dish-soap is an appropriate lubricant for the impeller during assembly.

So no grease inside the housing?
I do, and suggest you do also, as Don recommends. Leave the grease for things that require it, Dawn or equivalent liquid soap works great.![]()
