There are several write ups on this....it's a five hour job.

One tricky bolt on the underside of the water pump. This is if you have the six cylinder.

I removed the radiator to give me extra room and to make it easier to flush.

I have done this job on two different cars.... both a 3.0....but a 2.6 would be the same...

I would think that if you had a 4 banger it might be easier...

Once the water pump leaks...it's done.....
