Do a search on 'm103 "water pump" and read up on it. Mr. sixto has some info.

I just finished this task. I started last week and finished today, due to the cold weather. I have three cars so I could take my time.

I removed the radiator. It's not necessary but it makes for more room. It's a plastic radiator so watch out for breakage, esp the AT lines.

There is an AT coolant pipe attached to the bottom of the radiator so watch its placement.

I could not remove the viscous fan drive so I removed the blades.

I was not able to remove the tensioner bracket so I just moved the tensioner out of the way to remove the lower WP bolt.

Unbolt the PS pump and move it out of the way.

Remove the tensioner shock as well.

Sixto uses a 1/4" drive for the top rear bolt. My WP was the original and the u-joint broke, I used my 3/8" drive. It's a PITA.

Use some grease on the water pump o-ring to keep it in place.

Get a new short hose from the pump to the head pipe.

You will also have to remove the distributor cap to loosen the heater pipe cap screw. I have to replace my cap, rotor and wires, the coil wire is charred at the cap.

All I have to do now is add coolant and check for leaks.

I'm going to replace all my hoses, overflow tank, radiator and overhaul the mono valve.

Whew! What a job.
