Waterpump replacement

Zaairman · May 2, 2012

Eh, I took the shroud and the fan out tonight. Took maybe 10 mins from the time I walked out of the garage to the time I went back in. Slowest water pump replacement ever.... :morons: Hopefully parts start showing up tomorrow.

Big brown truck dropped off the thermostat, t-stat housing and coolant filter... but no water pump. :cursing:

Everybody gripes about remanned parts. I used an O'Reillys remanned, I did have to replace it, after 120K miles.

I also simply use a big pipe wrench with the handle sticking straight up, smack the handle with a hammer a couple of times. Comes right off.

Just got an email that my water pump was delivered today. Picking up the last of the hoses this evening, and I'll have it done soon enough. :blitzed:

Got everything done last night. Hardest part about it was getting the damn fan back on.

The fan alone was a 2 beer project.

Here's a few pics.
