Information: My buddy has a 1985 380SL. A smooth car. His water (coolant) pump has started leaking from the pump seals. He wants to replace the pump himself but we cannot find any information on how to or special tools which are needed to accomplish this task. If push comes to shove he will have to take it to the dealer. But he would like to tackle this himself… any suggestions? Below is a photo of a car just like his…..

plenty of space in front after pulling out the radiator, so just do it yourselves.

no special tools needed.
