I've found that when you need to adjust the plate of the water pump the best way I've found is to put it in a press & use some exhaust pipe & cut it open so you can open it up about the same size as the area of the plate you want to go down & then put a piece of 2x4 (wood) to press the opened up pipe so you press the entire plate down at the same time which makes it even all over the plate which gives a more even amount of presure as you push the plate down . That way the plate is even in all the right places.
