well i just changed the driver side motor mount....and now its time for the waterpump....is there any special process/steps to follow to speed/ease things up a bit ?

i have a Bluebird sss (na) and i can get to the pump if i take the front tire off and access it from inside the wheelwell, after removing the splashguard, correct ?

It helps to remove the pass side motor mount and lift the engine a little to allow better access to the waterpump bolts. Don't forget to loosen the pulley bolts *before* taking off the belt :)
