These are images of my recent water pump change on my Musso 3.2. I admit my methods are

sometimes not very professional, but after 6 hours in the sun you do what you have to...

The first step, in my opinion, is to remove your bash plate. Simply because every tool/bolt/etc that

you drop in the engine bay seems to get caught in it. With it gone they usually drop happily to the

ground below.

Second step is to remove the fan shroud. There are 4 bolts holding this on. It should just fit between

the fan and the radiator (just). Be very careful not to whack your radiator.

Next start removing all the radiator/water pump hoses that you can see. Please make sure your

engine is cool before doing this. If you want to flush your system, I guess now would be the time.

Next take off the two temperature sensors. The smaller one has a nice swivelling head which makes

it easy to undo. The larger one has a 4 pin connector. An earlier repair on my car saw me break this

connector, so mine is stuck on with some high-temp silicon. If you can get yours off without

breaking it, then I take my hat off to you :)

Remove the three bolts holding the thermostat housing on. I have already taken the bolts out in this

picture.

Here we can see the old thermostat. Hopefully your new water pump came with one. They are

generally good for around 200,000km's. Also, remove this sensor that goes into the block - you

don't have to, I just found it easier to move around without worrying about breaking another sensor.
