I need to replace a water pump on a 1997 528i by tommorw night any suggestions? I tried getting free alldata but no use:mad::mad::mad:

It's really easy. Take out radiator, remove belt (via tensioners, take the cap off and turn the bolt- they release tension. Remove fan (which is attached to water pump). Remember, this is a reverse tightening nut, and is 32 mm IIRC. Unbolt 5 (i think) bolts, and gently pry from each side around and around until it pops off. No big deal. Make sure you bleed the system properly when you fill her back up

Thanks man for the thorough instructions, Seems easier than I thought. I am selling it today and this just caught me totally off guard. Maybe cuz my mom never bothered to warm it up when she was using it.
