Water pump OEM Toyota or GRAF

Over the weekend this is how I did the water pump. I didn't have 2 hydraulic jacks, so I had to come up with some other idea. When I took out the water pump, I think the seal was starting to leak. Cleaned up area and reinstalled with new water pump.

Geba, Hepu or Graf are all good quality and should all have metal impellers. I have been told that Graf is a little better quality, but I don't know.

Screw NAPA. Get a Meyle or Graf water pump, they meet and exceed OE standards.

Do you still have the original water pump? Those has plastic impellers that fail. Replace it with a metal impeller pump (Graf and Hepu are ideal).

I have a GRAF metal impeller water pump. so far so goof with it, i like it.

I've also got a bad water pump.

Get a new WP with metal impeller, Hepu, Graf.

Just to let everyone know, it did indeed turn out to be a defective O-Ring on the Graf water pump I installed a couple of months ago.

My local aftermarket dealer stopped selling Graf water pumps after two bearing failures in the last month (one failure destroyed the camshaft timing belt).

My OEM plastic one broke and so did the metal-impeller Graf I replaced it with. They Graf seized up and leaked whereas the OEM plastic one just leaked.
