OK so all done that was a dam site easier than on my XJ. also by the looks a little easier that later wk2 with the 3.6 less plumbing in mine.

there a bunch of different size and depth bolts involved and an interesting method premoted on YT was to place the bolts in the corresponding holes in the new pump as it sits on the bench, then once the old pump is off swap then back to it

as there's a heap of them it stops getting them mixed up.

the bolts are torqued to 9 foot LB my torque wrench won't go that low so i just nipped then all in an X pattern like doing a head then gently tightened to what i felt was good ( years of experience does help thou)

i used the Penrite HOAT coolant, no leaks no noisey bearing so win win

time will tell ( as the old pump wasn't leaking just noisey ive kept it, one never knows......
