questions before I do the unthinkable
Im replacing my noisy [not leaking] water pump on my 72 V8 P6. It sounds "boney".
Ive heard it's easy to snap the bolts removing the pump. How do I avoid this?
I have at hand stainless bolts that suit the pump. Is this a good way to go?
What ever bolts I use , is it advisable to use a grease on the thread ?
other than that It all looks fairly straight forward for my backyard mechanical experience with the ws manual at hand.
I might add it does have the viscous coupling as mine is a/c.
My local Rover dealer had a nos gasket which he couldn't be bothered writing an invoice for. He says he has no call for 3.5 gaskets and was surprised to find one in his discard bin- my luck. I'll make a copy just in case.
