<![CDATA[Water Pump]]>HI guys, well it looks like the shaft seal has gone on the water pump and wondered how difficult an item it is to change. Can it be done with the engine in situ or will it be more complicated???

On a V6 you'll need to remove the engine mount (support underneath) and the crank pulley, but everything else is easy.

I keep them on the shelf, if you are wanting a nice quality one.
