Okay, I set the TDC bolt on the bottom of the case (6mm Allen Head) and wrapped the water pump shaft with a small piece of nylon window screen and small piece of masking tape. I tightened up a medium sized Crescent wrench on it and gave it a couple jolts. It loosened up no problem.
I layed the bike over on its left side, resting on the handlebar end (not good. I know. But, I didn’t want that pump gear going anywhere down the cam chain shaft)
I slowly backed out the water pump shaft, standard rotation, until I felt it click at the end of the threads. I slowly pulled it out. The outer seal came out on the shaft. It was probably spinning around in the housing.
I ordered the factory seal. But, it appears to be about 1mm too big for the housing at the outer diameter. I can’t even imagine it fitting in without crushing it. It is a super hard rubber so I am stumped about how to put it in without destroying it.
If anyone has any wisdom it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
