eh, 111,000mi. runs great but leaks everything.the front seal on the pully is seeping also. replacing the lower bearings is just a matter of popping the old ones out of each cap and putting in new ones right?once again, any tips or tricks....there is also a sludge screen on the pump that can be easily replaced correct?

When replacing the lower bearings make sure the bearing-cap area is clean and dry! No oil between them.
The screen is usually a pressure fit. When I remove one I always drill and tap the pump and install a bolt to hold it tight again. Making sure to not introduce filings into the pump. I don't trust second pressure fits.
If you do replace the pump you should PRIME it before startup.
