Have to replace a leaking radiator on an 02 with 75,000 miles on it. Thinking about going ahead and replacing the water pump, and maybe the belt while I have radiator out. Should I?
Anything else I need to look at if I do? Thanks for any advise.

I personally would replace the water pump, and belt while you have radiator out.

Do complete flush before you change out the rad.
The new rad would also appreciate some new hoses.

What they all said. I am on my 3rd rad. Hate the new plastic ones along with the uni-body flex.
