I have read the shop manual and still have a few questions and appreciate your experience and advice to help me do this properly.
I am getting ready to replace the water pump and impeller on my Gen II. When I pressure test, is it OK to put the gauge on the vent plug and pressurize from the fill plug? I'll pull vacuum also but that's easy to rig. I'll do these before and after.
With the drive off, is there a valve that closes to seal the gear lube monitor tube off or do I need to plug this?
I purchased a new oil seal carrier. Should this be replaced as PM while I'm there or leave it if it's not leaking.
Can I use a grease to hold the quad seal in place or does it need to be adhesive.
Lastly, seal or no seal on the water pump gaskets? The manual says yes.
I appreciate the help.
