Luke, what board was that on? On my 93 there is a bolt under the engine mount. Last time I was able to unscrew that bolt without pulling the mount, but there wasn't enough room to get the bolt past the frame part of the mount. It was easier to remove the mount.
Back to mine, I bled the air out following the instructions, the heater core and hoses are below the filler neck. I was just talking to a co-worker, and he is like me, never heard of an impeller fail completely. His suggestion was to check for a blown head gasket, which is possible since I have 190,000 miles on the engine.
