I have just had that poblem. Drain the coolant out unless you don't mind a mess you can disconnect the battery if you want but I have not been shocked are caused an arc yet. Autozone has the water pump here in Illinois for around 30.00 but you can get the coolant/antifreeze cheaper at wal-mart. You may also find it easier if you take off the belt tensioner 1. take the serpentine belt out of you way. 2. remove the pulley housing from the water pump(there are about four 7mm bolts. pull it off. 3. there are 6 or 7 bolts to remove the water pump. 4. coat the pump with silicone (blue is always the first choice but black,red, even clear will work)but make sure you can use it for an engine application because it will get hot in there. Reverse steps 1-4 refill with your choice of coolant/antifreeze and water(50/50 mix). Start the car and check for leaks.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva?
is it hard to change the water pump on a 1992 Oldsmobile achieva. Yes, it is very hard to replace a water pump on an Achieva. When the pump died on my 1996 Achieva, the engine needed to be unbolted and removed to get to it. As I recall, it cost about $500. I have a 95 Olds Achieva 3.1 and the water pump was very easy to change. Mine is on the front passenger side of the engine. Very easy to get to, just be careful not to break any bolts off. lol
