Hey guys N girls today I had to install a water pump in my 2007 Grand Prix the overall process took nearly 2 hours now keep in mind this was my first time doing a water pump on a W body so I took my time
below I will show several pictures throughout the process of installing the pump.
the pump choice was a Duralast lifetime warranty from autozone $34.99 - thanks Scottydoggs
I will also show you a video of the old pumps bearing growl.
