[Shotimes] Water pump replacement question

[Midwest SHO Specialists]

Once you get into the job, you'll realize that replacing the whole assembly
is just another 5 minutes of work.  To remove the front half of the pump,
the back end has to come loose, so you may as well pull it out and replace
it.
