I am leaking coolant. Replaced the bottom radiator hose and am still leaking coolant. Looked and found out its leaking from the water pump coolant pump inlet. How do I replace the water pump and the inlet. Help Please.

No problem man. Jack the right front up, remove wheel and lower front motor motor mount bolts. Then let down on a jack stand. Then put a piece of wood in the jack cradle. Jack up the motor on the pump side. As you jack the motor up you will see the motor and water pump by the belt lifting up. Remove the belt then the pump.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am definitely telling all my friends and family about this awesome website. I've called a lot of auto parts stores and they had no idea what I was talking about. Thanks again.
