Well to add to the other problems I previously posted, now my water pump started leaking. How much does it cost for labor to replace this. I've already found the part for what I think is a reasonable price ($62.00 @ autopart.com).
I'm assuming that it won't be cheap since the timing belt will need to be removed and for this monster V6 that's not as easy as it is for the 4cyl. Is there a way that i can do this myself without having to remove the timing belt - say just remove the covers and loosen the belts? I've studied the engine diagrams and it dosen't seem like it can be done inside my garage. I'm afraid to turn the crankshaft while removing the crank pulley. Aside from this I need a steering wheel puller to remove that bitch and that's just another thing I don't want to spend on for a one time use.
Heeelpp!
