Hello All,
I ordered and received the water pump replacement kit for my '99 115.
I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so I feel like I should be able to accomplish this as everything I've read says it's pretty straightforward and not overly difficult.
Aside from replacing the water pump, I'm also going to go ahead and change out the L/U fluid while I'm at it. The last time I did that was about... 35 hours or so ago. And I will also go ahead and replace the Zinc Anode while it's apart.
Back to the impeller change. I know the lower unit will need to be dropped to service this. This is where my question comes in; I know that aside from removing the bolts connecting the lower unit to the midsection, the shift linkage will have to be disconnected... but from where? How do I do this?
Also, is there a certain torque spec for the lower unit to midsection bolts?
Basically, does anyone have or have access to a step by step for this process; removal, replacement & reinstallation? Since it's such a critical part I want to make sure I get it right and don't mess something up. Once I do it once, I'll be comfortable from here on out.
any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
