Now how scary is it if you have the procedure for removing the radiator memorized? Took me about an hour and a half to pull the radiator and swap the water pump, and things were going pretty smoothly until I put the radiator back in... And saw the fan blade wasn't in there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Good thing I hadn't poured the coolant in yet. So, back out again, bolt the fan blade in, and got things put back together. The shaft seal on the old pump was definitely worn out. Just feeling the resistance of it on the new pump told me the old seal was pretty far gone. Best part of the whole process was now there are no coolant leaks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
There ya go. See how easy these are to work on once you have done it a few times, hehe.

Welcome to the oh I done that before club.
 
Its always nice to complete a needed project, and when you catch an OHOH, its double sweet. Just a thought. Anyplace we can pick a little power up is a good thing. Several years ago, I left the fan off, and installed an electric fan. I,m curious what everybody else thinks of this.
