What do I need *exactly* to change the water pump?
Like the title says, I need to to know what tools and supplies I'll need to change the water pump and timing chain/gears on a '92 3.1, its juat because I don't have my second car road worthy yet and need to be able to get this.done lol. I hate to say it but it looks like this'll be next weekend's project, the front seal is leaking about a teaspoon or two a day and I'm at 206k miles and have absolutly no idea when the timing set was changed last lol
Thanks guys,

Patience .lol not difficult just annoying. You can do it without removing the power steering pulley.
But take your time and make sure everything is put back right.
Iirc a 13" socket and a 10" socket for the bolts ( I got lucky and didn't have those pita torx screws)
A 15" socket to loosen the belt tensioner. A screwdriver or channel locks ( depending on what hose clamp type you have). Advisable to change thermostat at this time too. A radiator flush wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Good luck and take your time. ( doing **** twice just sucks)
