Water pump replacement checklist

Last summer I successfully replaced my water pump. I considered this
procedure at the edge of my abilities, but got through it OK with the
help of the two excellent articles in the DMCNEWS Techsection by Cameron
Price and David Swingle. Even so, the experience was a bit intimidating
due to the lack of details in the service manual concerning the many
wires and hoses and random bits that need to be disturbed in order to
perform this procedure.
So, in a fit of compulsion I decided to keep extremely detailed notes as
I went along, with the idea of writing up an attempt at a complete
checklist of each and every step involved in this procedure. I have
finally gotten around to finishing this. The results can be found in the
Techsection at
http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/waterpump3.html
Perhaps this document (combined with the other two) will give a few more
people the confidence to tackle this interesting procedure. If so, they
will be rewarded not only with a dry garage floor, but also with a much
deeper (literally) understanding of their PRV and how it works.
NOTE: Although I have tried my best to capture each and every step in
this process, I am sure I missed some things. I am also sure that there
are variants from engine to engine. These will only be discovered by
people attempting to use the checklist. So, if you do so and discover
any discrepancies, please send me a note and I will attempt to revise
the checklist accordingly.
Enjoy.
