Review on ๐Ÿš— Gates 43067 Premium Engine Water Pump: Optimal Performance for Your Vehicle by David Cronin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality at a great price.

Recently replaced with a '96 V6. The only difficult part of the job is removing the heater pipe from the old water pump. After trying the brute force of the hands, the swaying back and forth, several different "wonderful" oils and lubes, we found a hot tip. If you don't have a screw-on ball joint cage, use a 7/8" open-end wrench around both sides of the heater tube and (carefully) pry open the heater tube flange, it doesn't matter if you damage the old water pump in the process, you'll easily damage it still throw away.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Can take damage
