HELP! Changing the WaterPump - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

MikeG · 01-12-2008

I've got a 91 that I need to replace the waterpump on. A friend, who has a nice shop, but no ZR-1 experience, looked it up and said it was a 5 hour job and would cost $ 375+. In checking my Chilton, from the step by step, it doesn't look like that bad of a job. But since I can't even see the darn thing and having to lay on my back or bent over the side for 5 hours, which will probably mean 8 or better, the way things go, and then since the garage is unheated and it's in the 20's for the next couple of months, it's not a project that I'm really excited about.

Have on had the ZR-1 for about a year and am still getting used to the Beast! Anyone out there that has changed the pump themselves?
