    If you change your waterpump

    Here's a helpful little hint if you're going to change your waterpump that the Hanes/Chilton's manual doesn't give you.

    The very bottom bolt on the waterpump has a tiny rubber plug over it that is very, umm, impossible to see. Had I known this, it would've saved me about 2 hrs of work.

    hope this helps someone

    I think hes referring to a bolt CAP... not sure that the cap was standard on our cars... it may have been there from previous visits to the mechanic.
