Greetings Volks,
A promised report on water pump replacement. 5 hr. start to finish. 4 scraped
knuckles and $70.00 later cooling system fulshed,drained,filled flushed till
clear, drained, pumped replaced then filled and bled. At least I had clean
water driping on me insted of coolant. I used prestone straight up. Where there
is water there will be corrosion on the advice of my local guru who has 50+
years air cooled experience. My level sensor never did work so no big deal I had
more important things to spend time on
The one useful tool I had was a set of short wrenches (not wenches) that I
borrowed.
It seems that the pump had been off and regular bolts used in place of Allen
hex bolts. A minor P. I. T. A.   As to air getting into the system, we will
see
