Default Water pump?

Hey guys I have a small leak under my water pump it coming out around the wheel area!
On Atlantic British .com they have a water pump over haul hit for like $45.95 what are the odds this will fix it and how hard is it to rebuild I have basic tools?

I've never rebuilt a water pump. At the least it wheel involve replacing the shaft bearing and seal(s). If it was me I'd just skip the hassle and buy a new/rebuilt one from a reliable source such as Atlantic British.

Question

How long does it take to change it out?
What all I will need some RTV sealant and some coolant is that it?

The new water pump will come with a gasket.
It books out at 1.6 hrs labor, so expect 2 hours or so.

So I don't need to us any thing other than just the seals that it comes with?
Thanks

Yes, beat the seals.

Nope, all you should need is the new gasket, a straight razor blade to scrape the old gasket off and a emery cloth to ruff up the mating surface.
