One final note. Make sure you prop up the top part of the pump before tightening, otherwise the top of it will not seal properly and it will leak. It will LOOK like it's in nice and snug once you bolt it down (not too tightly of course) but once you dump anti-freeze in there it will come right out the top of pump. And put your water in first, that way if you've done it wrong you won't waste precious anti-freeze once you pour it into the Brik. And keep your anti-freeze pan underneath the car just in case you blow it. I've done this job before quite badly and learned several painful lessons, the first being don't rush the job, and the second to make sure to prop up the water pump either using a hammer handle as a crowbar for leverage or with 2 by 4 sticking up from a floor jack below, putting pressure onto the water pump from below. Good luck. Cuddy
