It's not that difficult a job, but it is time consuming. The best write-up is the Haynes manual, it is very thorough. See the townsend imports write-up for some tips, particularly regarding cleaning the water pump mating surface and using sealant. I could not find the sealant recommended by townsend anywhere, and ended up using a Permatex product designed specifically for water pumps on both sides of the gasket. I spent way too much time disconnecting and reconnecting the hoses to the pump, there is very limited access to the hoses. When I was done, the large hose leaked like a sieve, and continued leaking even after I tightened the sh*# out of it. After about 10 minutes (while I tried getting a new clamp around the hose)it stopped leaking. I'm still baffled about that.
I used a Hepu pump purchased from Sobstory. It looked every bit as high quality as the OEM pump.
