My water pump is leaking do I need to replace it?

Hi,

Actually, replacing the water pump really isn't too difficult to do. You will need to drain the coolant and the lower radiator hose. Additionally, the belt and fan shroud will need to be removed as well, but if you take your time, you should be fine.

Also, since the coolant will be drained, this is a good time to replace the thermostat as well.

To get you started, here is a link that explains in general how to replace a water pump. You can use this as a guide.

If you look at the attachments below, they are the directions specific to your vehicle. The last two attachments are the refill procedure.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
