WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TOWN AND COUNTRY (AGAIN!)

DON'T BUY ACDelco!!!!!!
My ACDelco water pump suffered a catastrophic failure after 2 1/2 years, 12k miles. THE HUB SEPARATED FROM THE SHAFT!!!! I don't care how many miles you have on a water pump, this should never happen. When I made this video I thought I had bought a quality pump.
Thank god it didn't happen on the highway.

WELL, MY HIGH QUALITY GATES WATER PUMP (MADE IN CHINA) FAILED ONE YEAR TO THE DAY (SCREW YOU GATES, I'M NEVER BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN) AND I HAVE TO DO THIS PAIN IN THE A** JOB AGAIN. I PLANNED ON RETURNING THE OLD PUMP, BUT ROCK AUTO ONLY WOULD ALLOW AN EXCHANGE FOR ANOTHER GATES. WHAT , SO I CAN DO IT AGAIN IN A YEAR? I THREW IT IN THE TRASH AND GOT AN AC DELCO ON AMAZON.
PLEASE TAKE ALL THE NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. CHOCK THE WHEELS, PARKING BRAKE ON, USE JACK STANDS. (THOUGH I HAVE DONE THIS JOB WITH ALL FOUR WHEELS ON THE GROUND)
SORRY FOR THE VIDEO QUALITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS TIME BUT I HAD TO USE STABILIZING SOFTWARE TO FIX IT.
