Re: water pump probs

[eric chase person <eperson@students.uiuc.edu>]

well thats what i was hoping that they will eventually wear in so they
quit rubbing, but it is a close fit--they need to spread those fuckin
accessories out a little so they have some room to do their job.  and make
it easier to change the damn pump without taking all of em off.

On another note, how much of a bitch is it to change the passenger side
mount.  I hear all kinds of stories but is it really going to be hard or
can i get it done in a day?  The other ones look easy but the passenger
side--well those vw engineers must have been laughin the day they put that
mount there.  Anybody that has done this let me know on some tricks so i
wont have to get too angry putting this thing in next week.
thanks
