Alright guys, no need to pull my man card,lol..... I have limited time, mainly because I have been working my dana 60 and 14bolt ff conversion on my k-5. I got some more things to do on it tomorrow before I start days on friday..I simply wanted to know how much time I needed to do it, or just take it and have it changed due to time constraints. I really appreciate the info and the comments.

Super easy, one of the easiest water pumps I've done, it looks like a bitch but its just deceiving. It fits very nicely with the other accessory brackets and there's no overlap. The chintzy gaskets they came with harden up and become ineffective, its a pretty common problem. Make sure your local parts store has a pump on hand though just in case the pump ends up being bad ya know

Well, I pulled the old water pump out and I think the problem was a bad gasket on the drivers side (pretty nasty looking). But without knowing exactly what the issue was beforehand, I went the safe route and replaced the water pump anyway with a new gm ac delco pump. It was by far the easiest pump I have ever changed, and gave me easy access to changethe ac belt. Thank you all for the info

It's very easy, but if it has been leaking, then a bolt or two might be corroded. I had to buy two new bolts when mine sprung a leak. Still on the factory pump with who knows how many miles now.

I had to clean the bolts, they were pretty nasty. You could defintely tell the gasket on the drivers side was the culprit though. It didn't need a new pump really, but I figured I should replace it since it was the original pump and I had a brand new one ready to go.
