WOW!!! 5.5 Hours to replace my daughter's waterpump and YES, you have to remove the fan clutch and everything!!! The forum is always right!That was the hardest repair I've ever done myself. I needed to use every tool and angle thingy available. Removed pulleys, tensioner bracket, tensioner, etc. No wonder they want so much money to do that job at the repair shop. I think I can do it in under 3 hours next time though. All of that because of a .20 cent rubber band gasket on the bottom of the pump. I put a new pump in anyway. Total price for parts...$234.00...labor...just my aching back but a great sense of accomplishment.
