Water Pump Replacement
Good morning! I am a newbie on this list. This is my 2nd post on this topic but I am not sure the first post got through. I have a 1994 Camaro Z-28 with the 5.7 L. Engine and I need to replace the water pump, which I have ordered. The old one is pouring water out of the weephole. I have a Haynes manual and it outlines the method of replacing the water pump. I have one question:
As I have disabled the airbags and have removed the upper panels over the water pump area already, I am ready to lower the fan assembly out of the automobile to remove it. As I look at it, it doesn't look like I have to remove the radiator to remove and replace the water pump, although Haynes says I do. My question is, is it necessary that the radiator be physically removed to replace the water pump, or is there enough room to do the job with it in place?
Thanks for any assistance. Any other caveats will be welcome too.
