not hard
took me and a very competent friend nearly 6 hours to do mine. basically you'll be better off taking engine out and doing it that way

yeah you can do it in a day. Its not hard just time consuming, you need to remove the cam belt to get to it. |

its not that hard to change a water pump. As i said ti takes time, if you have time then where the worry. I woulnd't go as far as taking the engine out as that is 10 times more work. just have a go at changing the pump. |

just take your time, take a weekend if need be, leave plenty of time for daylight hours, remember it gets dark early now, and you dont want to get caught out losing bolts in the dark etc. lock the camshafts and align everything properly, pop the engine mount off, pop the cambelt off and away you go |

no need for the engine mount to come off. |

i always make a habbit of it, gives you: more room more movement of the height adjustment of engine.

how do you suggest getting cambelt covers off without lifting/lowering engine?  JJ |

there's a 10mm gap. the covers are 25mm deep at least.  the water pump pulley doesnt come off without jacking engine up a little. JJ |
