Let me just say this... My mechanic got my car on Saturday morning to fix my cooling system and then replace my waterpump and my opti... Its now Friday of the next week and he says my car wont be done til 2morrow night... and thats even after hes pulled out the radiator and waterpump etc. Just imagine how fun it will be for you... Hes even ASE certified..

If hes ASE certified and its taken him that long he obviously isnt a hands on kinda guy. I replaced my optispark in 3 hours. of course i had air tools and a lift at work (im a mechanic) but it simply wasnt a hard job at all. yeah you have to take off the water pump which is 8 bolts total i think, and then the air pump which is 3. the radiator and fans come off in 2 seconds. everyone makes this more complicated than it is. just take your time as other guys said. an enjoy the beer and tunes!
