3208 Water Pump R&R

[freewill2008]

With coolant running out from behind the pulley on the water pump
shaft, I suppose it is time to replace the pump. This is a 3208T 225HP.

Has anyone done this job?

Are there any "gotchas" that I should know about during the Remove and
Replace process?

Is my local Cat dealer as good as any other source for parts?

Are there any other "soft parts" I should order aside from the pump and
gaskets?

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.

Haven't done it but I did buy a spare water pump on Ebay. Looks like a pretty
standard
and normal procedure from the appearance of the pump.
