Re: Leaky Water Pump

["Dave Margretta" <pencilledheaven@hotmail.com>]

  i have to agree w/ Mark.  replacing the entire assembly is the easier way. 
  i tried to just change the pump and use the old housing, but after four of 
the bolts snapped off w/ little effort i gave in and bought the housing w/ 
the pump.  it wasn't much more expensive then the pump by itsself, and it 
was less of a headache.
