I am looking for a GOOD resource for findling let alone buying the SPECIAL GM tools that are asked for. I.E. the J 41240 used to replace the water pump, or the spring compressing tool used for replacing the bushing in the door hinges.(don't remember that number offhand)
I know that NAPA has the compressor and maybe this other tool as well, however. I would like to know if there is another source that would have many if not all that are asked for. Then someone would have the opption of picking one up to make life a bit easier if they chose to.
Thanks again...

 

I normally find that http://www.etoolcart.com, has the hard to find tools I need.

 

why do you need a special tool to replace the water pump?

 

Here's the latest.... Went to NAPA got the NEW pump with Lifetime was 50 bucks or so. They also had the K_D tool kit for this trip. No. 6233113.
I got the pics I borrowed from a website but they are in tiff format. Didn't have the time right now to convert to upload so if anyone wants them, email me and I will send them along...
Thanks for all the help to get me to this point!!!

 

2klt,

So, I get it now (2klt - duh). Anyway, let us know how it turns out for you. I'm kind of curious about you 'water' out the exhaust. I had the intake gaskets go on my '96 but I never saw any liquid out the exhaust.

Later,
