1/4 28 pan head philips screws and a cordless screw gun.
We replaced a water pump on a stock Bugeye in the parking lot of a diner
just before the PA rally. It took longer for the coolant to drain,
that's what held us up. under 30 minutes for a water pump change and
that includes out/in and refill of the radiator.
I undo the screws while it's draining, if I'm in a hurry I just pop off
the bottom hose but the clean up takes forever that way.
