Who has an 'uprated' pump for BJ8s? There is an 'uprated' pump for
100s made by Bastuck that is not ideal IMO.<br>

No the grill stays in place and even the radiator can as well.
Instead, undo the mounting bolts on ONE SIDE of the radiator and
pull that side back enough to squeeze your hands in and access the
fan bolts first and then the pump. I’ve found pulling off the fan
before removing the pump is far easier (and probably essential).
Done this many times; slightly easier on a Six than a Four
cylinder Healey, but not awful in either case. BTW, this is a good
time to put in an uprated pump rather than a Chinese special …<br>

<div dir="ltr"> I discover now that the water pump of
my Bj8 has, after 145k miles, developed a leak. Other
than removing fan and radiator, does the grill have to
be removed to access the pump for removal. I pray all
can be done with the engine in the car. Thanks for your
thoughts and suggestions.......rich antal</div>
