waterpump gettin swapped out today

[Zim]

The bearings or somethin in my waterpump decided to make really funny noises lately so Im swappin the ol pump out for a new one. Ill try to take pictures and Do a write up on it, but this should be fun.

Also one question... after I put the new one on, how do I go about "burping" the coolant system to make sure i dont have air pockets in there?

[Tbird232ci]

there isnt much you can do in the name of burping it, but what you do, is fill the radiator up till its full, walk away for 10 minutes, and put some more in, start the car up, and as it runs, keep filling it, turn your heat on full blast, and when the thermostat opens, itll suck your radiator down a good bit, keep filling it untill its pretty full, full to the top, then put the cap on it, then fill the resivoir to the full hot mark

that should take care of it, and over time, itll suck the coolant it needs out of the resivoir, so keep an eye on the resivoir for a while

just shake the car a bit and hold it at diff angles to help the air move though it to the exit.
