water pump and another trick...

'01 SE 150k 2nd water pump :( That job is NO fun! It's the second time for me and I've read all the posts. There's two bad bolts; the one that holds the o-ringed coolant line to the pump AND the banjo fitting. I finally got these by holding them in the jaws of a pair of long hemostats, which I strongly suggest be in everyone's tool box.
I left the pump loose which helped but It seems to me that the real culprit is the cast aluminum pipe that connects the rubber intake tube to the intake side of the turbo. I was reluctant to break that seal and didn't really know how it attached but if that pipe could be moved, my life would have been much better. Those two fasteners cost me about two(2) additional hours of pain and suffering..
BTW, that pump was replaced with a HEPU (I guess, don't really know) from AutoPart International a year ago June and 18k miles. I figured it was a broken pulley weld but no, just plain old failed bearing and pump. That's a little disturbing... C.
