Changing water pump on 5.7 easier than I thought
I was pretty happy to learn how easy it was to change out the water pump on my '89 5.7 TPI. Just 4 bolts and one hose clamp. The only tough part was putting on the new serpentine belt even with the idler turned hard over. I was glad I took a few pictures with my cell phone on the belt routing.
Using a large screwdriver, I coaxed the belt on and I was done.

the water pump is super easy, the belt(s) are more of a pain on the earlier v belt engines.
