1993 Pontiac Sunbird Repair Question
Mileage: 130,000 miles.
Water pump replacement
Also, is there anything like engine mounts or any other major task that has to be done before removing the water pump ?
I have never done a water pump on a Sunbird but I did a few on Neon's and Intrepids are they similar to replace as a Sunbird?
