Crack the 4 8mm bolts on teh pully free
Use a 13mm at 6 and 12 oclock through the pulley to lower the ps pump
Remove pulley from pump
Remove 4 10mm bolts from pump (one at 6 oclock)
Remove 4 13mm bolts from pump
Clean well
Install new .. torque bolts to 13ft lbs
Reinstall the rest

Correction, it's leaking from the weep hole in my water pump now. I had wiped up around that cast and it's still dry. But I put my hand under the water pump and could feel it dripping. Any write ups for this one?

yup, take the bolts out and change it. the p/s pump needs to be un bolted, it blocks a long bolt, and the lower idler pulley needs to come off, its a 15 mm bolt, ot a t 55 torx to get it off.

put thread sealant on the 4 long bolts, use a dry gasket, bolt it back.

oh, big tip, with the belt still on, loosen up the 4 bolts on the w/p pulley, then take the pump off. when your done make those 4 bolts tight again, when the belt is back on, dont forget them.

looks like this off. see the p/s pimp hanging, and the lower idler pulley is off.

i had a few days till i put the new on, so i painted it black.

I often use the screwdriver between a bolt and the center of the pulley to tighten/loosen the pulley bolts.

Hmmm wonder if I have a picture of how I mod that idler piece to get a socket past it. Good call Scott... I missed the idler in my info.
 


I can't get the new pump to seal. I got it put on then found a slow leak in the back. Going to pick up some rtv for it
 
take it back off, then scrape the timing cover off good with a sharp razor, im thinking you left a chunk of the old gasket behind.

you put the thread sealant on the 4 long bolts? they can leak if not sealed.
 
Well I got it. There was a small piece of the old gasket left on there.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it
