waterpump

I have a new water pump for my 95, I do not have pump problems as yet at 72k. How long would it take to change the pump, given average mechanical ability. Thank you. Mike

I would guess an hour and a half, draining the coolant and refilling etc.

I pull the lower hose first which drains most of the coolant.

there is a hex plug in the other side of the block, mirror of the knock sensor. Pulling both plus the rad end of the lower hose will completely drain the block.
