[s-cars] DIY Writeup on After-Run pump replacement

[evan at relivmaine.com]

S-Folk,

Got the pump in last night and was done in time to see Ken Jennings win his
35th consecutive round of Jeopardy!  Piece of cake.

Thanks for your help.

Guys,

Having just done this, the only caveat that I would add is "DO NOT PULL THE
RUBBER MOUNTING RINGS OUT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE" - don't ask.  

Clamp the coolant hoses.  Disconnect the hoses and the harness.  Slide the
old pump out.  Put the new one in.  Reconnect.  Done.
