Drain coolant, remove water pump. If you are lucky it will screw out easy without any tension on it. If not, good luck.

Take one of the other ones you have out and match it up at the hardware store.

Okay so I started to extract my broken bolt, what a job I tell ya,
anyways I managed to extract half of the bolt, I'll try tomorrow to extract
the rest is not I'll just cut the new bolt I bought and bolt her in.

at the same time I think I might change my water pump
it's a 2005 11798 km but since Nov I out in a new motor...
What are your thoughts
