How do you replace the water pump on a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva?

i highly suggest getting another car, or paying the 400-500 to get it done. you have to remove the exhaust, exhaust manifold, the upper left engine mount, jack up the engine, remove the timing chain case, timing chain tensioner, water pump housing, and then the water pump. and as complicated as this sounds......it still sounds ALOT easier than it is. Just an additional suggestion. I have had to get the water pump replaced twice in my 97 Achieva. The first garage I took it to asked if it was the 2.4 liter engine . When I said yes, he told me to sell the car. A friend of mine installed the first one and only charged me $350 and I bought the pump which was an off the shelf model. 2 years later, when it went again, I took it to a dealer who charged me $750 but used an original GM water pump. This is not a job for a back yard mechanic as half the engine is dismantled to get at this pump. ========== The simplest way - move motor down and then start procedure.
