07 GS 350 water pump replacement
Hello all!
My wife's GS350's water pump has given up the ghost. I have a replacement pump w/gasket and want to install this weekend.
Are there any pitfalls to this or is it straightforward? I have a lot of experience working on cars but hadn't had to mess with the Lexus until now.
What major components need to be removed to get to the pump? Radiator, fans, ???
Thanks for the help,
Tim

I did the job today. It took me about 2 hours. Pretty straightforward. '
I tried to take some pics but forgot to put the CF card in the camera
I marked up the repair document. It is not necessary to do some of the items in the manual.
Unfortunately, while taking off the hose from the radiator I broke the plastic connection to the radiator. I can't believe these cars have plastic radiators! That is real crap.
Trying to fix it, if not will need to throw in a new rad.
