So i have successfully fixed the leaking idler # 2 pulley. There is a metal hose that runs directly above the last bolt, with about 3in of clearance. I used a 1/4 drive short 12mm socket that i cut in half with a grinder. worked perfect. Thank you all for your little tips and advice, this is...

So this guy is giving me trouble. 3/8 in drive is to big. I can't get to it from the back cause there is a hard line running right on top of it. Switched to 1/4 drive cause its small enough to fit in the space.

very cool, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hazza I have a water pump that is no longer leaking!! But I have a new problem. The number 2 idler pully is leaking!! Could you guys point me to a post about replacing?? Thanks

I do not have the old water pump

OK so I have purchased a new water pump from the dealer and it came with a gasket. So that is all I will be using. Looking at this photo I am pretty sure that plug at the bottom should be covered by the water pump. But the pump I just got doesn't.

Yup I cleaned all of the crap off the block use alcohol to wipe it down waited until it was completely dry the put sealant on. I hand tightened the bolts then torque them down to the specs of the FSM

So I don't have to use silicon to seal the water pump and that just the paper gasket is fine??
