Just a suggestion for anyone doing this, after you bolt the new pump on fill it with water or coolant to make sure you gasket is sealed and there are no gap leaks. The last thing you want is to put all the parts back on and find you are leaking because your gasket isn't seated right or a piece of old gasket you missed scraping off is creating a gap leak.
@mamas4turd4sniffer; it did that because I forgot to put power steering fluid back in it, and got some air in the system. After I put fluid in it and let it run, it bled itself and quit making noise.

Does this 1998 Ford Taurus Water Pump Replacement work for a 2002 Ford Taurus

@cardolthe; I think it would. I don't think there is very much difference in the years as far as how the water pump is assembled to the engine.
