Fire up the ratchet and 10mm to pull the back cover, pop the belt off, and begin getting the water pump bolts out. Yes, she has pink, steel tipped, work boots!!
Small hands are a very big part of the ease of doing some jobs. This goes very quickly with her doing the work. My big keilbasa fingers struggle in these tight places :-( I sit back and pass her tools and offer whatever info she needs (very little) and in 10 minutes she's done up top so we move to the bottom of the car to drain the coolant and get the last 3 bolts out.
While the coolant drains, she replaces one of the 02 sensors, in front of the pass side cat, that has just thrown a code. These are so easy to replace.... The cheep Chinese cable and software work perfectly in reading these codes for us as well as letting us see the actual reading in real time. Such a good tool for $21, shipped for free!!!!!
Checking the connection on the rear 02 just to make sure all is well. Small hansd pay off on this one!.
