Water Pump

Today, being a holiday and thus with lots of free time, removed the necessary body panels (including radiator) in order to expose the front of the engine. After that, it was relatively simple to remove the water pump.

Removing the left wing also gives full access to the Kodiak heater, as that will have to come out in order to change the core.

Below: a lot of bolts to undo, but not a difficult job.

The working area, with water pump cover and pump removed. Nice access.

Water pump, looking all-in-all in pretty good shape. It didn't leak before, and the bearing has no play and turns smoothly, and so will be given a good clean and re-installed as is.

The interior face of the pump compartment. Appears to have come through its many years in relatively good condition.

 
The patient. : )
