Default 2006 Honda Accord V6 water pump DIY??

Car took a small hit in the radiator and after replacing the rad and fans a coolant leak revealed it self from under the timing cover, I'm guessing it's a water pump...

Are there any diy's on replacing this item?

You need a Helms manual, it's not a simple or quick procedure by any means. It took me about 8 hours to do it on my old AV6.

Or Amazon, thats where I got mine.

You're treading on very, very dangerous waters not applying the correct torque spec to any of these bolts, especially the WP, crank pulley, engine mount and P/S pump.

Really? I checked with the local one and they only have the tool to pull (straight back) the crank pulley and another tool to push it back on.

I have a torque wrench sitting on the coffee table for when I put it back together.

Even with a $200 craftsman air gun (600lb/ft to break the bolts loose) the bolt won't budge.

Anybody know if this is a normal thread or reverse?

You need a crank counter holder to hold the pulley.
