OK, the 10 pic limit sucks!!!!
Coolant drained, last 3 bolts out and then it water pump removal time. The offending article.
Gasket scraping ensues to get a surgical clean mounting surface and new pump slides right in. Refill with coolant that was drained (thru a paint filter) until it needs topping off. Overall about a 1-1/2 hour job with the coolant drain and 02 sensor replacement.
She gets in with one of here sisters and takes it for a ride and comes back with the BIG (pretty) smile once again, but this time there is no leaking and no filling of the swear jar!!!
More to do this weekend but these are the biggies. New windshield on Monday and off to VA she will go.
