Reply to "Erica needs to get hosed....."

Soooo, I pulled the pulleys off the water pump and crank....and then pulled the water pump off.....

Got a new aluminum one from Rock Auto.com for a closeout price, along with a few other parts that were being closed out! T-stat housing gaskets, exhaust gaskets, timing cover gasket sets, water pump gaskets, full gasket set, oil pan gaskets, and a few other pieces that could come in handy along the way! Belts.....

Cleaned the garp up a bit more so that I could decide.....if I wanted to tackle this.....

So I removed the T-stat pipe while I thought about it some more.....

Then tested the brass thingy as an insert for a vice grips to hold against so that tube doesn't collapse while trying to remove it.....

Hosed area down with PB Blaster to influence some of the rusty bond....while I procrastinated longer.....
