I noticed what seemed to me like a boost leak sound. Well, now that it is winter, I have better located the actual sound is coming from my water pump...it sounds like a whine, I am guessing the bearings are shot.
I figure I can replace the water pump easily enough, but is this enough to change it out?

it seems to me that i am having a problem similar to this. i took off the power steering and also teh ac belt and the alternator and the shriek is still there. it seems to be from the water pump but i am not too sure on how to replace the bearing and everything. i've read alot on using rtv sealer but nothing about bearings.thanks.

You'll just have to replace the entire pump, as I don't believe the bearings are servicable.

so i would have to just buy a completely new one or is there anyway to fix the old one. i also have one from and old engine that might be good do you think that i should put that one on.

It's fairly easy to swap them around. Just get the FSM off of http://www.fc3s.org/ (how-to's, manual's) And you should be able to manage. I don't believe a new unit will be too expensive, so check into pricing first.
