alrite.. just got a radatior and water pump from MSA and gonna R and R it... got a few tip from members and hopefully gonna get it done quick... or right at lease.. and tips or pointers or anything on your mind... get at me..

 

Electric water pump?

 

just the stock one

 

Ahh, I did that the second week after I bought my ZX.
I replaced water pump, radiator, fan clutch and thermostat.
In my case, removing the fan clutch was a bitch, and you need to remove that to get to the water pump.
Just take your time when you're doing it. I think I did a pretty good job being my first time replacing all those things on a ZX.

 

removing fan clutch with fan still in place = shredded knuckles

Or maybe I just have big hands.

 

Invest in some ratchet type box end wrenches!!!! It'll make the job WAY easier

 

takes me 5 mins to remove fan and clutch. I remove the fan blades, then clutch.

 

you know, it's been so long since I've had a decent set of tools that I forgot that's the easier way to do it. The only 10mm socket I've got is a deep socket and it wont fit between the fan and radiator. I've got a 1/4" drive 10mm socket but no 1/4" drive ratchet. I'm working with my dad's tools and he's not mechanically inclined so my selection is limited. Atleast til I can get back to VA and get ahold of my tools.
