Hello,

My car recently started to get hotter than normal, and I also was hearing this chattering noise. Last night it completely overheated. A friend of mine said the water pump was bad, and i was hearing the bearings in it. Does anyone have a link that gives a step by step on how to replace it? It looks impossible to get to unless you jack the engine up, and I might as well replace the timing belts as well. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Also I have the service manual if you need it. I would have to make the drop box link for you.

Please read everything before attempting to do this. Make sure you have everything also.
