How to remove water pump from a 97 cadillac deville northstar

On the 4.6 Northstar motor the water pump is located on the driver's side. The process is pretty straight forward, but you must buy the special tool. This is like a large huge socket with notched teeth that grab the "ears" of the pump. I was able to buy the tool at local auto parts store for around $20+. Here is how the job is done in the images below.

Good time to replace small cam belt and hoses while everything is torn apart.[/quote:1746ce3a9f]

also if it is only seaping its a normal condition
