Ya I know its advisable to replace the waterpump, but its running fine so don't fix something if its not broken, even though it will be needing a replacement eventually... I am aware of the correct hose as the waterpump side is bigger and don't forget to put on the clamps so as for the problem I have two bolts off just the bottom bolt on the waterpump is left on which is under the intake manifold. thanks for the help guys and keep posting if someone has something good to say. I already have the alternator already off because I had it replaced.. so the radiator shroud is already off aswell as the fan and the belt tensioner un-tensioned. I guess its just up to me whether I want to continue to take off the water pump or have a look at the head, might be interesting to have a looksee at the head
