[Cubes]

Head down to nissan and order them in. They are only a few $$.

Once it weeping its too late, its stuffed.

It won't be far away before yours begins to leak if the car has already done 100,000km's.

Are the studs hard to get out?

The main stud and bolt are about 9-10mm in diameter - would they really ever break unless overtightened?

Not that I'm a stinge but I don't know if it is relly necessary to get new ones?

Not sure how to get the stud out either...

IF I do take the pump off it will spill a fair bit of water down the front. What do you do, just put some plastic down over all the important stuff like crank gear etc (don't want it going behind and attacking seal or anything. I have the radiator out already but I guess there is still a good litre in the car of coolant.

Do you need to put 2 nuts on it - one acting as a lock nut...would this work???

Thanks
