Porsche Boxster: Replace Water Pump, Thermostat, Polyrib Belt, Power Steering Fluid, Coolant

How to replace the water pump, the thermostat without a housing, and the polyrib belt. How to top off the power steering fluid. And how to refill the coolant back up with coolant while getting all the air bubbles out. This covers a lot but most important is to take away all the tips and tricks I provide throughout the video to help you do it yourself much faster.

Parts list fits:
Porsche Boxster/Boxster S (1997-04):
Total Cost for all this list of cheapo parts is around $140
$40 additional for the torque wrench. Low end of a water pump and thermostat replacement at your non-dealership car repair place will run you $1200-1600.

FMI Water Pump: http://amzn.to/1Ppmhil (FMI 20824, cheap china brand, says new but might be reconditioned with a paper based gasket)

MotoRad Thermostat: http://amzn.to/1YnQC8f (Model: 462-180, opens at 180F, does not include housing but has a cardboard tool to help with extraction and insertion of new one)

Thermostat Gasket: http://amzn.to/1Uw04R5 (This is a metal gasket)

Polyrib Belt Bando Brand: http://amzn.to/21iCdcu (Model: 6PK2115 or 2115 mm long. So this fits a Boxster with AC since if you have AC, it needs to be longer)

Polyrib Belt Bando Brand: http://amzn.to/1WLPrzR (Model: 6PK1930 or 1930 mm long. So this fits a Boxster without AC since if you do not have AC, it needs to be shorter)

Power Steering Fluid, Pentosin CHS 11S: http://amzn.to/1XkCjla (The stuff you must use in your Boxster for the power steering hydraulic fluid, make sure it is topped up)

Prestone Coolant (Buy this at your local store since shipping is usually prohibitive for gallons of liquids. Buy the full 100% version and mix it with half distilled water and half coolant since it's easy to do and much cheaper than buying premixed 50/50)

TEKTON Torque Wrench
1/4" Drive Head (http://amzn.to/1PpnCFR)
1/2" Drive Head (http://amzn.to/1tmOpxN)
3/8" Drive Head (http://amzn.to/1XSJodL)
(It clicks when you reach the proper torque level, I got this just to do this job and really really like this wrench, comes in a red plastic case)

TEKTON Universal Joint: http://amzn.to/1YmBmIr (I ended up not needing to use this myself to get to the hard to reach bolts, so you may not even need this) .
