I seem to remember there were some folks having trouble locating the water pump retaining bolts for the 2.5L engine. So here's the info:

Part No: W701544-S309
Cost: $6.00
Quantity: package of (4) bolts

Whether or not using new bolts is really necessary when installing a new water pump seems to be up in the air. If anyone has any HARD evidence on this, please post it. Thanks...

I didn't replace them on my pump change. I can't be believe they are torque-to-yield since they are basically a little more than hand tight.
Also, there are more than just four, with two different sizes.

Only 3 bolts attach the water pump to the cylinder head. Part number above is correct. Torque 10Nm then turn 90°
