Are they serious. Did they really say that at the shop? Geez, I thought our water pumps were pretty easy to get too.......................

. Kind of needing to lift the car to get to our oil filters.........
hahaha exactly! Well the shop manual just says to take the fan out. after i do that ill see how much room i have. if i need more room ill just pull the radiator. i looked i think its 8 bolts and a few hoses and out it comes. id rather spend extra time and pull the radiator then smash it if a wrench slips.
im still laughing about the "all the parts have to come from Germany" line, because the USPS just send me an email saying that my IC pump just left Warren, Michigan.........Warren Michigan must be close to Berlin.......small town i guess.
