New Transmission For 1990 Volvo Is It Easy To Replace The Water Pump On My 1990 Volvo 740 Myself?

Is it easy to replace the water pump on my 1990 Volvo 740 myself? - new transmission for 1990 volvo

I am not an expert mechanic, but do not work in the past in my car on your own. Not only oil changes, spark plugs, etc., but no substitute for a water pump and transmission for a vehicle that more than a decade earlier.

I have a service manual, but go to the library today to see if you try to work itself can. However, looking at the manual and the work itself is two very different things.

Has someone to do, preferably an experienced mechanic, substitutes its own water pump on a Volvo 1990 740 or the like? If so, can you tell me the difficulty and the time required for the job?
