Removing 2004 Sprinter water pump (DIY)

Part 1 or 2.
This first part is a long, step by step process for accessing the leaky water pump from my 2004 Sprinter Van. There is a significant amount of work to get to the water pump but it was not difficult. I tried to leave as much item in tact to reduce unnecessary disassembly to get to the water pump. It took a good full Saturday to get to the water pump. I did not pre-order the pump just to make sure I can actually remove it. Apologize for the outdoor noise as the Sprinter does not fit in my garage. I had to split the video into 2 parts because it was so long.

Tools used.
* standard Torx covering T30 to T50
* reverse torx E10 to E12 (Star socket)
* metric hex socket
* metric allen driver
* Electric or pneumatic impact wrench

The antifreeze will need to be flushed afterwards.

Part 2 will cover the replacement water pump and re-assembly. I ended up replacing all the pulleys.
