water pump replacement?

[vanhooton]

how labor intensive is changing the water pump on a 3.0L SHO? and how expensive?

A reman pump from Autozone is $47, they go up in price from there, but all of the SHO vendors have them, RCM, SHOsoure, etc...

It's not hard work if you're just replacing the WP, but if you're going in there, you might as well do everything.

It was actually a lot more in depth than I was expecting. It's possible to get it off without taking the timing belt off, but in retrospect taking the belt off would have been easier. I vote for a full front 60k too, the extra parts you'll have to buy are nothing compared to the time spent doing the whole thing twice (or three times) if you just replace stuff as it breaks.
