Water pump removal - '36, 1401, Std 8

Hi,

I was curious if anyone knew if the water pump can be removed off my '36, 1401 without pulling the radiator. I restored the car myself but obviously the engine was out of the car when I assembled it - so there was lots and lots of clearance when I installed the water pump. Now, not so much ... looks really tight in there. I also remember that the radiator was the last thing standing on the frame other than the engine when I took the car apart. So now I'm thinking that I would have to disconnect the front fenders from the shroud and remove it which I really don't want to do but if I must I must.

Thank you in advance,
Crin

Yes, you can remove and replace the water pump without disturbing the radiator. Remove the fan first, and consider covering the radiator core with cardboard to save your knuckles. It's close quarters but easily enough done.
