Good Gawd!! :barf:

Ford wants $13 EACH for these water pump bolts.. They look like 1.25mmx8 weird bolts, not the sort of thing you get at Home Depot!

So much for the idea of doing the job right and getting ALL SIX

Also, couldn't order one, minimum buy was two!!!

What is it with those water pump bolts? I had trouble with mine a month ago too. Ended up having to heli-coil it and found a stud at tractor supply. Couldn't find the right size nut to fit between the ac bracket and the pump, so I had to use two locking washers. It's a bit ghetto, but it works fine so I don't care.
