Engine Cooling problem
1991 Cadillac Deville V8 Automatic

The water pump pulley failed and I was told by a mechanic that it's very difficult to access that area of the engine so the price to fix it is high due to labor, seems to me if you remove the panels around the wheel well of the passenger side front tire, it should be easier than trying through the top. Also should I replace just the pulley or just do the whole water pump?[img:0e9a2fd2b8]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/305961_IMG022_1.jpg[/img:0e9a2fd2b8]
