Water Pump Mounting Hack? This Works!
In this episode I explore an idea I had for mounting new engine mount and water pump on the 62 Corvette. If you've ever done one of these jobs by yourself you know how difficult it can be.
I supported the engine with a floor jack and board under the oil pan and then removed both the water pump and engine mount. The old engine mount had some decent pitting and was at risk of water leaks so replacement was required.
When reinstalling these components by yourself you need more hands than any of us have so an assist device is just about a necessity. These simple tools were the perfect addition to the tool box at a near zero cost.
