Replacing water pump

smidley · 09-09-2009, 03:15 PM

Hey guys. So I took my car in to the shop because I was getting a coolant light on in the dash. They said that I have an actively leaking water pump. But they want over 800$ to replace it. I can go down to the parts store and buy a new one for 80$ so I'm going to try and replace it myself. Does anyone know how difficult this is going to be or have any advice? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well I was able to use this link and get the job done. Wasn't very fun, but with another person and about 4 hours you can get it completed.
