The water pump on my TK unit is starting to drip at the shaft, and I can feel some play in the shaft. The TK dealer is 50 miles away, so I'd just like to make one parts run! I've not replaced a water pump on a TK before, but it does not look too tough - HOWEVER - being a TK, I'm sure they have slipped something sneaky into the procedure.
Questions:
Apart from the pump and gasket, I figured I'd get a thermostat. Is there anything else I should get or any precautionary items? I'm Wanting to avoid getting elbow deep and discovering that that something won't come apart as it should and now needs replaced as well.
Is there anything that's likely to cross me up and/or catch me unprepared, either tool or parts wise?
Thanks!
Dave
