Water pump help

[Daryl Krenzer]

Hello guys I could really use some help with a water pump issue I'm pretty sure the bearing is going bad it's been making a pretty weird sound so I'm going to be replacing it this weekend and just wanted to know if anyone knew how much coolant I would need after draining the radiator and losing coolant when I take the old pump out I'm going to try to post a video of what the the water pump is doing so hopefully that can help if any tips for how to remove the fan and the shroud would be awesome as well any one who has any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

I ended needing maybe 2 1/2 gallons. It was more than 2 anyway.

Great write up here:

When I did my Radiator last month, it was 2 gallons.

By the By... In case you have not made the Water Pump & Gasket purchase yet... THESE ACDelco Components... are the ONLY Ones to Buy:

just shy of 2 gallons is what I used but for us Metric folks it was approx. 7 litres. Not liters either...lol.
