Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Water Pump Replacement

I am about to replace the water pump on my 95 Mystique (83K) as a preventative measure. I have read the replacement instructions on this site, and it all seems very clear. However, Ford's manual says I must also replace all the bolts because they are not meant to be torqued more than once. What should I do?

Ignore. I went to dealer to get replacements they couldn't find any in a Ford warehouse in North America.

p.s. Welcome onboard.

Thanks for the info.
Another question came to mind. Do I need to apply shellac to the gasket, or do I just mount it dry?

I just used dry gasket on one of mine, no problems. On the other I re-used old gasket cause it was sticking to the housing.
I'm not sure I would use shellac on anything but wood.

Thanks!
FYI, there is a product on the market called gasket shellac made by Indian Head.
