DK8 water pump

[yirgaman]

Any of you guys ever take out a DK8 water pump? I can't get enough clearance to pull it out, I'm guessing I can loosen the radiator bolts on the cradle at the bottom in the crossmember after I take the support rods loose at the top of the radiator and then tilt the radiator forward along with the shell, careful not to let the hood fall. Am I missing something? I don't want to hurt the radiator or get everything missaligned. The water pump leaks.

Just in case anyone has read my question and wondered what I did..........

I did exactly as I had guessed. The radiator was able to tilt forward just

enough to allow the water pump to be removed. The pump is being rebuilt

right now. Hope to get it back together soon.
