Just did my Water pump on my 01 9-5 Aero!

well last night I changed my Water pump on my 01 Aero, my pulley had actually come off the shaft and was hitting the frame rail so the car was not drivable. after all the reading here I was really considering having someone do this job but after talking to my dealer they said it was a 1.5 hr job or less for their mechanic so I decided it can't be that bad then!
Thank goodness I did it my self, i would have been pissed if I had paid for this job! It took me 2.5 hrs to replace and I would rate it about a 3 or 4 on a difficulty scale, the hardest part was the belt! But I will say I removed the head light and marker light which gave lots of room, I was able to unbolt the pS pump and with the light gone it slid totally out of the way, I did not need to reomve any Ps lines. I also got to some of the bolts thru the headlight hole. Most of my time was spent on cleaning the old parts once removed, I just got the pump not the whole housing, so I needed to clean the old housing etc.
so for anyone contemplating doing the water pump job go for it, if you can do brakes which I would rate about a 1 or 2, you can do this job!
Basically i rmemoved the headlight and grill, the top engine mt bracket, the ps pump. the Airmass meter, and turbo inlet pipe, then the pump!
