I'm hoping to replace the "left" coolant pump as mentioned here and was wondering if anyone who's done it already could give me a few pointers or maybe answer a few questions.
Do I need to take the plastic cover off of the center area under the hood to access things? I've seen pictures of the replacement pump and I can't actually see it under the hood anywhere.
Should I drain all the coolant before starting this or do you somehow plug the hoses?
Do I need to disconnect either the 12v or the main battery before starting to avoid shocks?
From these questions, does it sounds like I should just have a shop do this?
Thanks!
