Hey Steve,
from what I rember in the old days regarding water pumps you could replace the pump/ shaft bearing assembly which was in one piece.This was a sealed unit that pressed into the housing. The bearing was a sealed unit it did not come into contact with the coolant, the gland provided the water seal and yes if any did get past the gland it was drained via the bleed hole. Have you still got the old pump?
