Re WaterPump seal. OOPs

That pipe that runs fromback of the WP runs
under the exhs manifold and to the back of the engine - goes cnx with the heater hose.

Under #4 Exh that pipe has a bracket that is bolted into the block --- 13mm if I recall. Need to use a closed end wrench. Take out the Bolt and free the pipe from the block.

The WP mounting procedure is to undo the bracket freeing up that pipe. The hose will let you move the pipe around a bit.

In your case, just fixing the leaking seal...pull the pipe from the back of the water pump. if the seal stays in the pump pull it out.

You then put the seal on the pipe and insert the pipe into the back of the already mounted WP. That way you don't pinch or twist the Seal pushing the WP onto the rigidly held pipe.
