No problem, but before you just go replacing it i would recommend getting new dust boots for it and re-greasing it and torquing both bolts to spec to see if it fixes your issue.

I am talking about the noise I am hearing when I spin the water pump by hand, did you watch this? http://youtu.be/AgXgyfl18sU
The noise it make when it is put back together is the typical chirping pulley noise, I will post a video of it later on.

It sounds like it's coming from the water pump, but that means nothing. The pump is only a few weeks old, but the noise it makes when I turn it by hand leads me to believe it's bad already.

Has anyone ever painted a car with urethane basecoat clearcoat? I'm thinking of doing it to my jeep. I would set up my own paint booth and putty, etching primer where needed, sand, prime, sand, paint, clear coat, sand, clear coat. Is this right? I have never really painted except for a few things with spray cans. I would also buy a primer gun and a spray gun, both gravity fed. Would I be able to do this and have it look good? Btw I would use this as my guide http://www.ehow.com/how_8197267_pain...-urethane.html
