You have to drop the fuel tank to replace the pump, it is inside the tank. ---

if the water pump is shot, do not drive this car. The coolant wont circulate and the engine will overheat. Most often the water pump fails because the bearing fails, and this lets the bearing seal leak and the coolant goes on the ground. It usually also makes a noise when the bearing fails to warn you, and it may cause the belt to start slipping. Get a new water pump installed properly before you start this vehicle up again.
