The pulley can be held with a strap wrench or if you shop carefully an oil filter wrench. This is a job with some tricks. I would replace the 2 hoses to the oil cooler and even the oil cooler to engine gasket while there. It is not as bad as it looks. The job should take about 3 hours for the experienced mechanic.

I must change my coolant pump.  (Confirmed by inspection with a mirror.)


Bentley isn't too much help.


I looked up some Gerry archives -- I laughed, I cried, we were one.  I have a pump from one of our esteemed list members; but no new hoses or plastic pipes, etc.


Any tips?


I don't have the special tool to get the 3-groove pulley off (page 19.35).


Dreadfull,
