Okay, so my water pump needed to be replaced in my V6 '95 windstar.
I was able to do it without an engine lift. lolz. I'm sooo good. :-D
So, I got it replaced. However, I ran into two issues.
1 - one out of the four bolts that holds the pulley onto the water pump is missing. sortof fell into the engine area when I first started. looked for an hour and couldn't find it anywhere. so RAWR! Can I just leave the three on there for now? I might just get a hose and just clean the engine out and hope the piece falls from where ever it is at.
2 - THE BIG problem. Their is a pipe that is held into the waterpump by a washer. anyway, this pipe is like completely gone. meaning. I don't think I should reuse it do to it being sooooo rusted out. What is this pipe called and how do I replace it or should I even attempt to replace it? I have looked everywhere and no one has it. Would anyone on this forum have any idea where I can buy a new one at? When I do repairs, I do it right the first time and don't play games.
