Well, I decided to change the pump and do a few other parts changes at the
same time while the coolant was out.

There is probably other things done that I do not recall being sleep
deprived.

IF you do not have a hose clamp pliers, you need to get some to aid in the
installation and remover of the hose clamps.

I picked mine up at Harbor Freight Tools.  I do not think that I could have
finished the installation of the many clamps without them!!!

All is well
