Good Morning,
When it rains, it pours. First the radiator. Then a broke tooth - will require a crown. Then a broke drain pipe in the basement. The house is an 1869 colonial farmhouse. The pipe is 4"cast iron that has cracked on the top. I installed a rubber patch for now. Pipe is full, so just got done digging up septic tank cover. Guy is coming to pump tank tomorrow. My buddy is a plumber, He is coming to look at the pipe today. Guess I'll take tomorrow off and do coolant flush, replace water pump/hoses, and replace radiator while waiting on the septic tank guy. August needs to get better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Water pump isn't a bad job. Nor is a radiator.
1-5/16" wrench to get the fan off. Standard thread.
Remove bolts front and rear of rad support tap one end town tap the other end up. You'll want to use a dead-blow if you have one and you care about the paint on the rad support. If not metal hammers work great.
