Water Pump Leak

I have water that is leaking out the back of my forklift. I believe it may be the water pump. Can anyone let me know how involved the replacement is. Does the counter weight need to be removed? Any advice would be appreciated.

I think that's a Hercules motor. You don't have to remove the counterweight. It's not one of the easier ones. One thing I've noticed is the new pumps have a thicker area on the side/edge of the cast housing that doesn't let the pump sit down tight on the block because it interferes with a bracket or something on the front of the block also. You have to take a grinder and take a little metal off there. Hold the new pump in place and you will see what I mean, it just barely interferes. I don't know what's up with that, but the ones I've done have had that problem with the new pumps (Cats and Daewoo)

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
