Yes I suppose I can go wrong, but so far its going
well.  I just wanted to comment on the water pipe
junction just to  the right of the crank pullies,
the one you have to remove to actually pull the
water pump off.  I had a hell of a time getting to
either of those clamps.  I finally managed to rotate
one enough to get some vice grips on (locking pliers).
Other than that removal was a piece of cake (Tres facile).
I still haven't put it back together and I hope my
fingers have the agility needed to start all the nuts
and bolts. I suppose the hardest part will be bleeding
the system. But I've got my ramps at the ready.

Thanks,
Dean
