@jjenson2006 i agree. i tried going a plenum gasket once and didnt use anything to hold it and it ripped and i wound up blowing the valve seals on my car

I have to replace one of these tomorrow morning on a 2005 impala. It's the same motor. My question is do I need to take off the belt that the pump rests on or is there a way to loosen it. Also, do you need to take the housing off that the hoses are attached to. It looks like you just took that out of the middle...

Hello, I have to change one of these tomorrow morning but it's in a 2005 impala. Do you have to take off the belt? Because I have no clue what I am doing...

@gestwicki He's using a thin coat of it to hold the gasket in place on one side only, which is ok. I've always done it this way and have never had a leak and so have many mechanics. If you don't do it this way, you risk a mangled gasket as the gasket can move around quite a bit when you're installing it, especially in places where there is very little clearance.

How much is the actual water pump itself?

NEVER use silicone or rtv on a gasket. read the bottle. rtv is designed to seal metal to metal or metal to plastic. no vehicle manufacturer used silicone or rtv on gaskets from the factory.
I love pontiac too bad GM stop making them! What year is this car?
