How hard and is it worth it to change my own waterpump in a 1992 Buick Century?

Question

Can someone point me to a link on how I can do it myself quite simply? Thanks!

Answer 1

it is not simple. if you are not already an adept general mechanic, don't try it. on some blocks the timing belt is involved also. an experienced mechanic with all the tools would need 3-4 hours

Answer 2

If you are mechanically inclined at all it is very easy. When you remove the old one you will have learned how to install it. Just the reverse of removing it. Make sure you clean the gasket area well. Place the new one on that comes with the pump then install the bolts and tighten one at a time opposite each other until tight.

Answer 3

I have a 93 Buick Century with a 3.3L V6 engine, and i havent made that particular repair yet.

Answer 4

Its not to hard and lots cheaper also. Get a Book on your Buick at the parts store it will walk you through it..

Answer 5

not hard at all maybe a 30 min. job Lots cheaper too I dunno of any links but you can go an AutoZone type store and buy a Chilton or Haynes manual on the car for like 15 bucks still cheaper than paying someone to do it for you

Answer 6

i have a 93 lesabre try autozone.com, they have tutorials, then you can decide for yourself, but it cost me around 100 bucks to have someone do it for me in a couple of hours..it was worth avoiding the hassle for me....
