Tensioner pulley in the middle is undone by hand (swing it around to loosen the belt) WP is removed with 8 bolts (keep track of which were longer, so they can go back in the right holes..) remove, clean gasket material off the block, add new gasket, add new WP, reinstall.. top off coolant.. MAKE SURE YOU piece together you broken impellar, so there are no pieces "missing" in your system somewhere.. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

So got the new one(with a white impellar) back on finally. Now still have to a rad flush. Took me a while to find the plug as I am used to the old brass ones. Question: My thermostat guage still jumps to superhot when I start the car. Is it my heat sensor... if so, what do I need to replace & where is it located? Is it the temperture sending unit or the other thing?

When you do your radiator flush, grab a hose and run the low pressure water through it until all that you see coming out is water. Then refil. I would also recommend getting some water wetter on account that its simply an amazing product! Claims to keep the engine 20�?º cooler but i would say its less than that, but it does work! Good luck. Im doing my water pump on my 95Se soon. Midnight Red 95 Contour SE 5 speed, fully loaded. kkm M.A.F. adapter w/ K&N ru-3530, single Magnaflow muffler w/ no res. 2.25" custom catback exhaust, grafite painted stock 95 SE rims on bfgoodrich touring T/A's, 35% window tint around.

Also, air lock in the system will cause no(low)coolant flow, as well. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
