Hello all. I have been reading here for a long time and have great respect for all the knowledge shown here. I own 9N141273 which seems to be a 1940 9N. The last time I ran it I could hear a clinking sound coming from the engine area. When I parked it I found I could wiggle the fan and pulley quite a bit and saw a drop of coolant fall. So I am assuming the water pump needs replaced.
I have a service manual which gives the following steps.
Remove steering wheel. Is this necessary if 2 people lift the hood off. Also does it require a special puller.
Remove battery. Remove gasoline line.
Remove bolts holding hood in place. I find the dash bolts easily enough but have not found the front ones.
Lift hood off. Drain cooling system. Remove radiator. Loosen fan belt. Remove fan..
Remove water pump.
Have I missed anything so far? I am not really mechanical minded but do attempt some jobs. I have a friend that is a pretty good mechanic and he will probably help me.
Also, is this site the best place to buy a water pump?
Thanks in advance for all comments and help.
