Default Re: AU Waterpump Replacement Guide

I bought a pump from Supercheap yesterday, and it fitted up well.
Haven't driven the car yet, but started it up OK.
The main problem I had, apart from actually getting at the bolts where I had the car sitting, was the fact that I had to tap the bolts into the holes, as the bolt heads were too big and the pulley interfered with them.

So, I had to fit the bolts in the casting and then tap them across where the bolt heads scraped across the pulley, to get them all the way in.
I couldn't see any damage to the pulley, but isn't that still a bit weird?

And the heater pipe. Couldn't be sure of the seal, so I used some black silicone sealer and just tightened the pump into place.

Big test today, as my work is about 40km drive from home. Ha, wouldn't be the first time I had a hot radiator on the way to work, but I have faith in my mechanic talents until proven otherwise
