Doin the whole timing belt business on my 01 TL. I have the whole timing
belt area opened up and apart. Water pump will be first. I ordered on from
Rock Auto. I also ordered some belts there too.
They do not provide torque specs and I dont have a manual as of yet. Anyone
have the torques specs for the water pump.
Thanks.

I don't know specifically for the TL, since I don't have a shop manual for
a V6 as new as '01.
Most water pump bolts are 9 foot-pounds, but I've seen a few that are 18.
Plus, some of those bolts are "special bolts" that need to be replaced once
removed.

I would _STRONGLY_ recommend that you download all the information related
to the timing belt as well as the water pump.
