replacing the water pump

M.$tErNeR -> replacing the water pump (8/10/2008 10:55:16 PM)
anyone have any advice or know around how long this takes to do.thanx

95LT1. -> RE: replacing the water pump (8/11/2008 6:54:54 AM)
I did my 97 LT1 in about 2-3 hours. I had to remove the fans, radiator, and it is pretty simple from there. Remember there are 6 bolts not 4 like later GM water pumps.

yeah, like he said, remove the fans first, and theres a hiddin bolt behind the AIR system

meteoralp45 -> RE: replacing the water pump (8/11/2008 9:31:32 AM)
so you have to remove that. and also be verrrrrry careful when actually taking the water pump off cause there are some o rings and a bearing on the camshaft, that if you damage will leak oil

Psst...guys, LT1 advice for an LS1 car isn''t going to go very far [8D] Most of the advice will probalby still stand, but you may be looking at different times. I''ve never done a water pump on an LSX...

Again, an LT1 comment... It took me about 3 hours to do, with a couple short breaks to clean up, and a break to eat pizza. What''s with you guys and your crazy fans/radiator removal? I didn''t take any of that stuff out..... The only things I removed besides the water pump itself were the air pump/bracket and the air intake... But this doesn''t help with your LS1. Sorry.

Ya, not sure about the LS1, but it took me about 4 hours on the LT1.
