Your neighbor probably won't have an FLXM13 on the truck, but it will be worth the wait. It has a 1/4" shaft so you can get it on the top bolts. That small shaft, however, will make you think that you are going to break it in half when it rotates before breaking the bolt loose.

I have heard of people changing the water pump using one of these tools WITHOUT removing the p/s pump and all that stuff, but I would have to see them do it to totally believe it. A very reputable pro tech that used to post on this site frequently said that he could do it.

The last time I had to work on that area of my 124 I had it on the lift raised up high enough that I didn't have to bend over. It made the job MUCH easier on the back. It might be worth rolling the front up onto a set of ramps for the job.

Good luck.
