    You ladies are absolute pros! I greatly appreciate all of your videos. Super clever to use the tire iron for fan removal. The only confusing part of this video is how are your hands always so clean?! Thanks again!

    Thank you so much. Very clear and no BS like in so many other videos. I have no questions left. Other youtubers should learn from you.

    After refilling the coolant you should hand rotate the pump until it's full. This lessens the chance of a seal failure due to air in the pump disrupting a smooth rotation.

    Now I'm considering replacing the water pump myself in my 2000 Astro. I'm losing coolant and it's not a head gasket or radiator thing. Maybe I'll try Bar's Leak first. Great video but curious as to how long it took.

    Former mechanic, used this video as a reference to do my 01 Astro's water pump today. Great video, super detailed, thorough explanations, and that's a really awesome simple trick to hold the pulley in place. One of the best repair guides I've seen on TH-cam

    Besides the other comments, though the torques are easy enough to look up, I appreciate that you stated the required torques as you did it. Great video! Thank you.

  • @markallan9050
    @markallan9050 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is an awesome video. I have a 2003 chevrolet blazer but am considering buying a 1997 astro as a work van for plumbing. The one i currently am interested in needs a water pump. Because the engine is partially obscured by the cab of the van, I was thinking it was going to be significantly more difficult to get at. This video was really clear and straightforward and had great attention to detail. Great job on the video and may your astro take you to many cool new places!

    Info states you need a 21mm socket, I might of missed when they used it. Also I have never used that gasket adhesive, I'm guessing 2+ years later this pump is still going strong with no leaks.

    Excellent video!!! Perfect explanation of process and hacks. You make it look easy. I am a shade tree almost decent mechanic who was happy to throw away my chilton's manuals after the creation of youtube. I have watched many videos for many different vehicles. This is one of the best ever. Long live the Astros. Thanks!!!
