Changed my water pump in hotel parking lot.
I get hell from others here that say you have to tap the hole, but they evidently have not seen a self tapping bolt before.
Maybe my 04 is a super special that has the rare self tapping bolt from the factory.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Didn't see anyone say anything about that bolt hole yet, letting you know, some freak out.
Really no big deal.
