Re: water pump R&R (was Pulley removal)

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Robert:

The method I (and countless others) use to replace a water pump is to pull 
the two bottom studs that secure the water pump to the timing 
cover.  Double-nuts on the studs work well enough for removal, and after 
replacing the pump, install bolts in those two positions.  The bolts needed 
are 6x25mm, and you'll have to use two washers to keep them from bottoming 
in the timing cover.
