It seems pretty straight forward at this point.

I'm new MB diesels and recently acquired a 1987 300TD with front damage.
I'm replacing the radiator, condensor both fans water pump (and possibly) the thermostat.
Radiator and condenser, both fans and clutch are out. Started removing my water pump. Idler shock off and 5 of 7 bolts out of the pump before stopping due to darkness.
From reading this thread....looks like I'm about to hit a roadblock...I can see the oil dipstick is in the way.
Is there an online step-by-step for water pump replacement for the 603.96 engine? WIS ?????
Excuse this newbie question..... Is "WIS" a service manual. Where can I get one for my car. Conventional paper bood ...or online (PDF)?
I can't even find the thermostat ??????????
Definitely need a manual and some engine diagrams.
