Many vehicles will only require your basic tools but there are some out there that require special tools such as the Cadillac with the North Star engine.
First of all, I am not a auto repair man, But I am having a 97 north star over heating and today I just replaced a new water pump, (two of them I must say as I thought I messed the first one up trying to get the tool to work, So here is what I found, By putting the tool on the pump It was going in to far hitting and would not turn So what I did I placed the pump In place use my hand to start it a little and then I use a small screw driver on one of the flanges and push it a little more, And then I use the Tool to put it Tight where its to be. (After that all worked fine) PS the tool wanted to get hung by pushing it all the way in from the start. (ALL SO BE CAREFUL YOU MAY BREAK THE FLANGES IN THE WATER PUMP HOUSING.) sure Hope This will Help YOU. jrjohn

These engins have an odd set up for water pumps----they are belt driven by the front camshaft (drivers end)--removing the old pump is not to difficult but installing the new one rquires a special too to screw it into the housing ----without that tool it can not be done so if you are asking the question you should probably let some one else do it---If you go to a parts store and ask to see the a new pump you will understand
People use the north star as a navigation tool. Everyone knows that the direction of south will be the opposite of the star. East and west will also be able to determine.

A special puller is required to remove the water pump pulley from a 1989 Celebrity. The tool can be "borrowed" from Autozone on their "loner tool program". The same tool kit contains another tool to press the pulley back on. I did the job on my 1989 Celebrity with 2.5L, it was not difficult with the tool.
