2 Sweet Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 How hard is it to replace the water pump? It looks like it will be pretty easy, but I've never done a water pump before. Mine took a shit on me today. Where should I buy a replacement? Are the AutoZone ones sufficient? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Its really easy, Just take off the belt on the car, Might have to take out the radiator to get more room to pull it out, I dunno on a fbody but its 6 10mm bolts holding it on plus the hoses. It will only go back on one way just make sure you get the little gaskets on correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt, hoses, bolts, reinstall, refill coolant and get the air out of the system. No need to remove anything else. Most water pumps are reman units and are pretty much the same, unless you go with a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
