Great video, but it skips over a critical piece that caused me no end of problems. The shaft that the impeller slides onto has a "tooth" that the impeller aligns to when you slide it in. Simple enough if that tooth was a machined part of the shaft. It isn't. It is a small crescent shaped piece (similar in shape as if you cut a penny in half), that sits in a grove cut into the shaft. If that little piece stays put in the shaft, you are set. However, if it falls out either during removal or installation, it is probably going to fall down into one of the two radiator hoses. My radiator hoses have a spring inside to help ensure the shape stays curved, but also to make it near impossible to fish that thing out without taking the hose completely off. If you have to take the hoses off, be very careful to put them back on properly as the intake hose can just as easily fit on the outtake flange and vice versa. I highly recommend you double check that metal piece is right where it needs to be when sliding on the new impeller and double check it didn't fall off on installation. I checked by having someone turn the engine over a few times with the plate off so that I could ensure it was spinning in sync with the shaft. Side note for me, but leveraging a screw driver was helpul in prying the old impeller out.

Great video! Please post a video if you change oil or winterize this fall.

Nice video. I would suggest you not use a power tool to reinsert the screws for the water pump. A small ratchet will do, and will help ensure you don’t strip the threads on the water pump. It’s very soft and easy to strip. Also, if you’re willing to spend some money to make an easy job of removing all of your impellers, you can purchase an impeller puller online as well. Or use two screw drivers. On either end of the water pump and pop it right out.
