Goodness...Just finished up replacing the waterpump for maintenance (190k miles) and man....This thing is a pain to do in the car.

Victory has never felt so good to finally get this bad boy out :firemad:

Had to remove a ton of things to get this bad boy out. There is ONE bolt on the waterpump that seems to be easiest to remove/loosen if you unbolt the Alternator to move it aside.

I wish I took a picture of that one bolt. But if you unbolt the alternator to move it aside, (you don't have to unplug the wires) you can slide in a combination wrench to break it loose.

Here's some picsss

Old on left vs new

This is the kind of thing left alone until failure, usually you get a warning of it dying through the week hole. If you think that's bad here's a pic of my Tacoma fixing a timing chain cover leak
