its kinda important to use a honda pump. In my car i had a remanufactured pump and it died after less than 30k miles... that sucks
429whp 362wtq A20 TURBO. A20T>*
I've done it...not an easy job...really hard to get to...take off all of the belts...timing belt cover...water pump pully...water pump...and put everything back...sounds easy but its really hard to get to cause everything is so compact
i didn't have to take off the timing belt cover.. i just took off one bolt on the lower cover and just pulled on it until i could fit the water pump through it. no problem!
what year I have an '88 accord Lx i I replaced mine (I do all my own work) well they arent hard if you know what to do! if you need help get back with me or put me on your buddy list
it's just a bitch to maneuver in that tight spot, tha's all

I'm not a newbie... Portugalhonda from the old Board
watched my dad change it about a year ago before the car become mine once you get everything out of the way then its not too hard but takes awhile. Also you might have to change the bolts if they strip out when trying to take off the water pump.
mine has some leaking right when I start it. After that its pretty dry and there is no drastic change in coolant levels when I drive. I'm taking care of it when I install my deltacam this weekend. Say, I gotta use that silicone sealant right???? Or does the pump come with a sealing gasket?????
there's a gasket for it but you can use high temp RTV.
