Get a set of flex sockets, these are sockets with built in universal joints on them. You will need them. The job is not hard technically, but is a PIA because of the cramped quarters that you are working in.

Does anyone make a 12 volt electric water pump for these engines ? If yes is it better in regards to longevity ? Just curious. Jake Raby is building me a 2002 S and it will receive a new water pump in the build so I'll have a baseline for age/mileage. But it seems like some of these go with as little as 30k or as high as 100k.........strange. I think Jake is now recommending a change every 3 years but don't quote me on that.
