Water pump done, new belt installed and oil change completed. 3.5 hrs. My sone did it.. He is Master Certifed ASE mechanic.. When changing water pump only drained about 1.5 gallons of coolant. Added it back , ran motor and heater till hot, opened vent added 1/2 gallon of distiller water to top it off...

Pump had some play, belt was ready to break, idles were all good.. Top one could be replaced but didn't have one on hand... And the bolt is soo long, sheesh, thought the rear bumper was on the end of it... How to you get that bolt out anyway, it hits the inner wall???

Anyway, Lots quieter now, popped the new glass windowed top and went for a nice ride in the lakes region.. Almost 65 degrees today.

Perfect!
