I hope the “bit of heat” was not enough to damage the seal. This is VERY easy to do. If you got ANY portion of the shaft, hub, impeller, hot enough to glow or discolor you most likely ruined the seal too. Check it out before going to all the trouble of mounting and running a possible bad water pump. I wish you well.
