i got the water pump off last night. LOL! ball bearings literally fell out of the front of it. the pulley was broken, the serp belt was wedged into one of the pulleys and had a big gash in it. that said, tensioners and pulleys seem to be in fine shape. i think i'm gonna hold off on those.
one good thing about a roasted water pump? you don't have to drain coolant, which happens to be perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves.
