Haynes = Camaro Bible

heard that...

guess what I'm trying to say ThaDyce, is if you can afford a water pump, you surely can dish up an extra $20-$30 for a book that will pretty much help you tear down your complete engine with pics.

it's behind the power steering pulley though...

(google searched it) :)

Haynes manuals are OK at best. Get a chiltons.

1-remove part #1 (see section 5)

I've never owned a Chilton's, but my Haynes has been very helpful

Re: Water Pump Instilation

haynes has done me well for the 3.4

van bib is right, a service book would be the best but they are hard to come by.

in regards to your water pump installation, it can be done in about a 4 hour jaunt. one of the bolts is behind the power steering pump bracket so you will have to detach the bracket to get to it. the pulley bolts come out easily and usually the water pump bolts do as well. you will want to put some sealant on the bigger bolts when you put them back into the block.
