it's sitting in the mech shop right now, my dad called one of his old co-workers who runs a garage.
so it should be back in an hour or so

it would have been way too hard to remove the pump myself, the bolts were corroded and hadn't been touched since the car was most likely made.
yup, my first question for the mech will be: did you bleed the system?
im happy ^^
hmmm .... any suggestions for a car name anyone
my nissan sentra is called: 'The Box'
my friend's dodge caravan is called: 'Eleanor'
