You have to remove both the right tire and the flexible skirting to get at the lower water pump bolts. When removing the rubber skirting I ran into a problem where one of the retainers wouldn't come out. It was the Philips screw - expanding type. I had to just rip it out with a pair of long nose pliers - not that this is difficult. But you can't just pop down to the hardware store to pick up a replacement. I also had to remove the battery side cover to be able to fit a socket/torque wrench along side the water pump. The job was done in an evening - probably around 3-4 hours of work. The biggest pain was the fiberglass insulation between the body and the engine. Wear a long sleeved shirt or you will be feeling the fiberglass for a day or so later!
the fuel tank has to be dropped from the car to access it.
My Fiero parts supplier, The Fiero Store, only lists one pump so unless a 3.4 crate motor was put ( I did this to mine ) in they will interchange.
