Went in from panel behind seat. Had to buy one wobble head socket. Then low temp stat. The I did all coolant. Then UD pulley, belt, done. I'm in no rush.

Metal impeller?? When mine failed, I knew because the bearing had allowed play and THE IMPELLER WAS RUBBING THE BLOCK OPENING where the pump sits. If it was a metal impeller............ Which do you think will grind down first? The steel impeller, or the aluminum block? Aluminum in the coolant is not good.

Glad when I cut open my coolant filter and no shavings! Or fluid even??? Chicken feathers??? Oh, that was the cabin air filter.
