Turbo231 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hello again... I have written a Do-it-yourself procedure on how to change your water pump with instructions and lots of pictures. It's specific to my 3.4L DOHC, but will work on a variety of 60 degree engines. http://members.aol.com/regal231/wtpump.htm Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Just be sure to clean up the sealing surface very well. I just use the paper gasket that comes with the water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I just did this, and I found the wrench thing to not work to well for me. Is there an easier way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I did mine again on my 3.1 (same thing). The "big wrench" idea doesn't always work, I used a little breaker bar on my ratchet, left the s-belt on and broke the bolts loose quickly, I was able to break them all loose that way. leaving the belt on to break the bolts loose, assuming you can shock the bolts free quick enough, will hold the pulley in place.

Turbo231 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Whatever way works for you is best. You could get one of those strap wrenches from Sears, that could probably work too wrapped around the pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the thing is I tried leaving the belt on and it just spun. Whatever way works for you is best. You could get one of those strap wrenches from Sears, that could probably work too wrapped around the pulley. Is there some kind of special tool?

Artemis Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 This guy has a video on youtube for doing this, helped me alot when I took it upon myself. It's for the 3.1 but like we said, same thing basically. He also has many useful videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyubUW2o4jQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDS-97CSSL Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Just want to share my thanks to all that posted info in this thread. Replaced my water pump a couple days ago, and it was surprisingly simple. The combination of the write-up, and the video, made for a great project with NO surprises. If anyone finds themselves in need, this repair can be done with no special tools, and in fact I think there were only 10 bolts to remove/replace to complete the task.
