II debated taking mine in to the shop for this job, as I was a bit intimidated by reading up and watching videos. My thermostat had gone out, however I'm the second owner and with 110k on the odometer decided to do the pump too.

FWIW, I have an 08 with the 4 zone AC and was concerned that would create additional challenges. Other than the pump being about twice the price as a non-4 zone, it was the same. I just tackled this job, and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

HUGE thanks to Ohiobimmer for his post, I referred to it throughout the job.

I found it unnecessary to remove the passenger wheel well, just the small liner at the bottom. I left the radiator in, just took the fan out. I also replaced pump to thermostat hose, upper and lower radiator hoses as well. I'm very glad I did, as at 110k, they appeared to be original - and your right there anyway. In hindsight I probably should have done the expansion tank and its hoses as well, but will tackle that another day soon.

The only tools that I needed other than what are "standard" in most tool boxes were the ve12 socket, and a 22" flathead ($10 at harbor freight). All in, it was right at 6.5 - 7 hours, including referencing Ohiobimmer's post. MAJOR thanks to him and helping me save some 800-ish in labor!
