OK the son's car is giving me the shits AGAIN
Water pump pissing out & seeing as we're on level 3 restrictions I thought I'd change it................
3 hours later and 3 split sockets.....yep 3, either my sockets have gone brittle with age or I'm getting stronger

The more I looked the more it looks like the engine has to come out to do it ?? FFS it's a poxy Holden Nova 1600
so in true motorbkers mardy......I put it back together and thought where's me stubby holder

So.......... if you are a mechanic, apprentice or just want to get pissed at my expense..........get in touch

Its not quite an engine out job, but certainly would involve a few inspiring ales. Would love to help but you're in the wrong Epping.

I think you have to take the engine apart to fix the water pump coz it sits behind the engine.

I fix my water pump and it costs $1000 coz of the engine.

BTW my car is 91 corolla
