replacing water pump

bigrando74 · #1 12-11-2003, 10:54 PM

I'm wanting to replace the water pump myself, I really can't afford to take it to a garage. They are asking way out of my price range. I've had quotes anywhere from $550-$1000. I'm looking for comments or instructions on how I can do it myself....

Please HELP....
Thanks,
Randall....

I replaced the water pump on my 95 grand am last jan.The pump was cheap,the worst part was taking off the muffler and exhaust manifold to get at the water pump.

What are you replacing it on a V6 or four cylinder?

D motor is easy.

T motor is very time consuming and alot of work.

I found out that it wasn't the water pump, I took it to a dealer and later found out that they were just trying to get money from me. But hey everyone thanks for the help... well appreciated...

Hello, what if your 8th digit in the VIN is a "V", is it still an easy job
