Learn how to change your water pump

Post by SchumieFan »

Okay...






So next Sunday I will be changing fresh's water pump,

It's a bit annoying so if anyone in Sydney wants to learn/watch feel free to join in, otherwise I will be taking pictures and eventually making a DIY... Once I get to Queersland.

Me too. I don't know how you c**nts use circling pliers to get the tension required! You guys must let the hydraulic tensioner make up for the slack which itself is bad for the tensioner.

Also all mechanics know it's a pain in the arse not to have the tool sometimes! Especially when ya juggling the cam spring tension, belt and everything else by yourself! But they always go missing!!
