Water pump questions
I am about to change my water pump. It looks easy since I have both rad hoses off and am about to change the serpentine belt as well, but I have a couple of questions:
1/ The manual says to "discard the pulley bolts" > Why on earth would you discard perfectly good bolts ? Does anybody have any insight on this ?
2/ When replacing the pump, the torque spec for the bolts says: "8 NM plus 90 degrees " This seems very low but I can't find any updated TSB or anything like that...again , any input is appreciated from those with experience.
When I get this done and refill the coolant I am ready for summer
