OK guys...I have read and seen all the great water pump replacement threads and pics (and they really will help!). Just wondering if anyone has some good tips for getting those pulleys off and stuff removed with my basic laymen's tools. One good tip I received was to put electrical tape around the elbow joint of the 13mm socket to get it onto the lower back bolt of the pump so it still flexes but is stiff enough to guide in and on to the bolt head (craftey old mechanic!). I have the tool for the fan clutch so that should be easy. Any other good ones out there? I have a new pump on the way as my pump bearing is going bad after 195K (wow!). '91 300E.

Thanks!!!
