If you mean that you need a person to meet with you I can not do that. You may want to know about my experience with second generation water pump. here it is.
There are two bolts that have spacer washers that need to be there. If you dont put them back in down the road you may develop a water leak. Do it right the first time.... Other then that it is not to bad. Another point is you cant depend on aftermarket manuals to point this problem out or show you an exploded drawing that includes much detail. I used a haynes manual to do this very same job. The instructions where generic... This is a perfect example of a time the original factory manual would be best. I found this to be a good time to change belts.... Also in my case I noticed that the bolts had oxidized. I applied anti- seize to the bolt threads to make the next job easy.. good luck.

Take it to midas and they will do a free check on the car... I once had a bad heater hose and a bad radiator cap. It was after I had midas do a fuild change I had a water pump problem. Durring the process they pressurize the system and because the seals in my pump where old and weak the pump faild to stay non leaking. it leaked very bad so thats when I changed it. Midas will give you an objective answer.

if you are talking about the washers on the water pump there are two one one each of two bolts. I dont know which two bolts since there are about 8 of them. that is the problem. if you dont find out after tying hard dont sweat it. I am driving my rx 7 now with out the washers and my pump dosent leak. Ive got an extra gasket set on the shelf to do the job over when it does if it does. I am telling you exactly what a journyman mazda mechanic told me.

you have to clean up the pump very good. I used tach on the gasket perhaps this is why my pump does not leak. I was really finatic about torque on the nuts.... good luck dont stress to much. Hey maybee you can swing to the dealer to look at the factory manual. they have great pictures...
