your lucky because i just changed mine! i blew my water pump and my heater hose while chasing after a 3000gt vr4 believe it or not i had him anyways.....it's not that hard new water pump is about $70 and all you need to do is drain your radiator...the engine block and then you take off the fan and the pulleys to get to the water pump and thats about it should take about half a day not too bad =) good luck!!

It's pretty soft. In the same day I snapped off 3 bolts in 2 different water pump housings, then dropped one, which cracked it open like an egg.









And for the love of grammar, please someone edit that guy's posts. It hurts my brain.
