The bolts broke free with minimal effort. The bolt on the bottom of the water pump to the left was the hardest to get to, because of no visibility. Torque spec for the bolts was 230 in-lbs (yes in-lbs) per the dealer, but that was the lubricated spec. I used the non-lubricated spec of ~29.5 ft-lbs per the manual. I would recommend the purchase of 5 new bolts as they come with thread lock on the threads. Total part cost Water Pump Deere Reman - $244.18, less $50 core for $194.18, new gasket comes with the pump Bolts (5) @ $2.78 - $13.90 Deere Gasket Sealant $45.30 Coolguard II 2.5 gallon $32.21 While the belt is off, I just replaced it with a new one V-Belt $58.74 All in cost - $344.33</p></blockquote><p></p>
