    Can anyone post a quick step by step on replacement? I.e. Which pipes come off in what order

    I remember one behind the pump was a real pain in the A.. had to take out the air compressor first in order to get to it.. other than that no biggie its all intuitional

    Thanks. Looked fairly simple, just wanted to make sure. The compressor has to come out on mine because I'm replacing it due to an internal crack in the head. It has been over pressurizing the coolant for a couple months and has caused the pump to start leaking out if the weep hole. I'm going with junk yard parts, hopefully they will give me a couple more years use!!

    I try to buy parts online (ebay etc) air compressor found there for $700 today..
    I remember some seals/gaskets were really bad and had to be replaced with new ones that comes with the pump, you better make sure you have them or it might be leaking from everywhere

    When my air compressor was over pressurizing cooling system I lost 2 reservoir tanks (150 each) heard some horror stories about blown radiators etc

    Yeah, I'm going to get new gaskets from dealer. Found the comp for $200 and the water pump for $120. Both out if the same wreck. If it will last thru the rest of winter into spring i might replace with new. I'm always the optimist , maybe they'll last forever. Lol

    im surprised it hasn't blown a hose apart or a reservoir also!

    If memory serves me correctly while air compressor is out, might as well do thermostat it's right there as well. Have to remove compressor to get to it

    If memory serves me correctly, thermostat is behind compressor as well?. Been a few years. Might want to change that while in there.

    Ok. Got everything done. Replaced pump and compressor in about 3.5 hrs. Not a hard job at all. Did it all with a walmart ratchet set and managed not to break any bolts and don't have any leaks!! PB blaster is a mechanics best friend! Lol
