Water pump gone bad........
I will replace the water pump tomarrow, any one have a link or write up on r&r the water pump? So far does not look like a bad job to do, will try to leave the radiator in just to save time. I have a fan wrench but what do I need to hold the pulley when threading off the fan? The fan is reverse thread ifn I remember correctly????????? Any words of advice............
Thanks Jack

Fan is standard thread (right hand) not left hand. To hold the pulley you can try to put a wrench on the tensioner and apply pressure to the belt. Chances are this won't work so leave the belt on and try to get a bar to hold on the small bolt heads. They make a special holder for them but if you don't have one do what ever it takes. Sorry no write. pretty straight forward. Just a note though. Take a long punch or extension and set it on top of each of the thermostat housing bolts and whack them with a hammer. Hopefully that will shock them so they don't break off as they commonly do.

Well I am figuring out that this is not going to get done today cause there is no o-ring in the box for the t-stat housing 
which wrecks my plans of getting done on Sunday 
...................... Also missed a chance at a nice opportunity to do the IH water pump with the built in filter, wish I had thought of that before I ordered the NAPA pump , a spin on filter would be a nice up grade at this time, I are such a dope for not thinking of that earlier

Oh yea what about the pump to the block do I put that o-ring on dry or coat it with a little sealer???????
