They are hard to get at on the bottom of the rad. I find it easier to remove one end of the lower hose to drain the system; plus, you don't have to worry about breaking off the plastic petcock on your radiator. I hope this helps you. Mark

I just replaced my water pump on my 95 DeVille. I decided to have a dealer do the job. They charged me 2.5 hours of labor.
To change the water pump on a 2001 Cadillac DeVille, first ensure the engine is cool, then disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the serpentine belt and drain the cooling system. Next, detach any components obstructing access to the water pump, such as the alternator or bracket, and unbolt the pump from the engine block. Install the new pump with a new gasket, reassemble the components, refill the cooling system, and reconnect the battery.
