...the hard way
Well as I posted I was planning to do a rehaul of the cooling system in the Plymouth. Well the radiator went smoothly.....
However I went to go after the water pump.....
I was under the impression that everything was external on the pump. Well it is, however you must remove the timing belt, and intermediate shaft gear to remove all the bolts. So now I'm waiting on a timing belt, tensioner, and front crank seal.
Obviously if I would have taken the time to really look or do the research i would have ordered all the parts I need and be done by now. And yes it should have been done in the first place as the belt has AT LEAST 100,000 miles on it and is 6 year old. (that's how long I've had it and it's never been done.) On the bright side it's a major weak spot taken care of and other than a head gasket anything else major to fail will condemn the car now lol
Well lesson learned the hard way.....
What are some lessons you learned the hard way?
