Review on Tool for Securing OTC Water Pump during Maintenance by Austin Olson

This tool worked perfectly. There have been reports of the water pump squeaking even when using this tool or similar, and even when the gear isn't moving. Luckily after replacing the pump the hum went away. This durable tool installs quickly and prevents the three water pump gear bolts from falling into the engine. Just make sure you screw it onto the control plate cover beforehand and don't let the tool move so the gear doesn't move. worth your money.
