You have to remove the timing belt to replace the water pump, which makes it a pretty big job. Not hard to do but make sure you have at least a day set aside to do it.

Cool, no worries, i was planning to replace the timing belt anyway.. Plus the motor is still out of the car and will be so for a while so i got all the time in the world..

cheers mate

Having the engine out of the car makes it a lot easier, except for removing the crank pulley bolt. This is hard enough to do with the engine firmly anchored to a car (300nm is a lot of torque), but with the engine out it's going to be... fun.

Yeah i know, we did it on my 7m a while back, ended up strapping the motor to the pallett it was on with some snatch strap, had 2 blokes holding it, and a massive extention on an already huge ratchet..

I have a Hitachi 22mm electric impact wrench for use on crank pulley bolts. Let me know if you want it.

[Stomps]

Sweet, yeah i might need that.. Hopefully i will be pulling my engine out soon, just gotta clean up my bros place so i can fit my car in, then i can get started and get your intercooler pipe and cooler back to you..

Sorry for having it so long, my plans got put on hold for a while when i went back to uni..

Here is what i have to deal with at my bros place..



he is building himself a dedicated drift car and we still have a lot of half cuts to clear.
