RE: M42 water pump

["Ric" <rlb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When the pump bearings failed what did they do?

Reason being ..something on my M42 is making a ticking noise up
front.  The engine is fairly buzzy as it is, but this has the
sound of a roller bearing with a notch in it....I was thinking it
was the AC pulley though.

Second question...can you replace AC pulleys easily?

Yes, replace it.  Even the metal impeller pumps have a limited
life.

My plastic impeller pump on my 93 325is failed at about 90k miles
due to the BEARINGS failing, not the impeller...
