I went back out this morning and pulled everything off and inspected it, and all looked good so I was gonna reinstall it and try again and see what happened, until I was snugging the bolts down and didnt catch one of the dowel pins and broke my "spare" body........
now I have no choice but to order a new one and new seals again....
When I get the new one Ill do a write up on how to remove and reinstall everything... still dont have a good method to get the old mechanical seal out though.... dont know what kind of tool you could make/use to get the seal out.. using rogers method of a ton of little holes seemed to be the best...

If you're going all new you might as well replace the shaft too.

On the bottom of the water pump.

The mechanical seal can fail without showing anything out of the weep hole. I put a new water pump body and impeller shaft and all new seals and gaskets. No issues.. wish it wouldn't have taken 2 tries for me to figure out how to do it.
