[DMCForum] Water pump replacement progress...

["mw98gt" <mw98gt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am moving along steady.  I am hoping to get it all back together 
tomorrow- if the parts I ordered from John Hervey arrive.  
Installing the silicone hose for the heater hose is a major PITA.  
Those nipples are huge!  It took like 10 methods and over an hour to 
get it on finally.  I ended up doing what I origianlly should have, 
remove the pipe and get it mated up outside the engine bay.

I am going to head out in the morning and buy a torque wrench, I 
should have initially.  I dont want to overtighten anything.  If I 
find out that I have already overtightened the y-pipe bolts should I 
loosen and then torque it correctly or does it not matter once it is 
already overtorqued and nothing bad happened?

The o-ring kit I bought has one for the cold start injector tube 
where it connects to the manifold, should I replace that or not 
bother?

I ordered new bearings from John hervey for the idler pullies.  I 
have never changed out bearings and was wondering if I need 
anythings special to do it or any tips that I might need?

Walt, what was the method you told me for putting new coolant in?  I 
drained at the motor so I am unsure how much I should need, but what 
were you tellin me you do?

Finally, I would like to order that bit from snap-on.  The drain 
plug bit.  How do I describe it to them.  Is there a name for it so 
they know eactly what I am referring to?
