[DML] Re: Water Pump R&R

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a pretty big job. Especially if you turn it into a "Dave
Swingle" type job. Just kidding Dave. It is not just a water pump. It
is a complete tune-up and cooling system service usually with one to 
several broken bolts to drill out. Most Deloreans are still running on
the origional seals, spark plugs, ignition wires, cap, rotor, and
hoses so "while you are there" you SHOULD replace EVERYTHING. This job
is not for the "faint of heart". You should have -some- automotive
experience if you are thinking of attempting this. Ask yourself "What
am I going to do if I break a bolt off?" If you are not capable of
drilling out a broken bolt then this is not a job for a novice or a
first-timer. Look up the price of a "Master cooling system kit" and a
tune-up kit to get some idea of what you are in for. There are no
short cuts or easy ways to just replace the water pump. You have to
basically pull everything off the top of the motor. There are hoses
behind the water pump that can't be reached any other way.
