DIY waterpump RnR

[goliath1812]

nope, didn't move one bit. the jack wasn't even touching the oil pan.

I just put a 4ft prybay to the side of the engine and pryed while sliding out the pump...
I did'nt even have to remove a tire.

SWEET!

Other than the Autozone or Kragen/O'Reilly replacements, is there something a bit better for an aftermarket replacement?

This also makes me want to look into an oil cooling kit for my yari :)

I bought the AC Delco one. Madeinthe USA !

Ok, this is going to sound completely stupid, but how in the hell do i get the mount to separate when I'm trying to drop the motor?, bolts removed and the damn thing won't budge. WTH?

I though of adding that to the guide at some point, there is a 3rd bolt from the bottom.

I can tell you the size or make a pic if you need it.

refresh the page, pic is in my previous post.

support the engine before loosing the final bolt.

If you have any other question, let me know.

[sort_o_sane]

let me also add the i beat the hell out of a pipe i had using it as a pry bar and was tempted to climb onto the engine and jump on it...

[sort_o_sane]

never mind, i'm a dumbass and see the tip of the bolt that held the nut i need to remove...

[auxmike]

I don't recommend doing this any more, I put a nice dent in my a/c line!

Well now we know better.

Where and what did you pry against? Besides the AC line I mean?

Was it a case of PRY....quick wp out...PRY...quick wp in?

I THINK I can control myself not to rush and think about what I am doing and so avoid ruining my car.

Is it possible to get the old wp off then cut a piece off it with a dremel so as to be able to remove it?

Perhaps there are extrainious parts on the new one that could be ground off to get it in there?

Im like the people who cut jeeps into four pieces with a cutting torch to fly them in C47s over the Hump in WW2 then welded them back together again once they got there.

Whatever works think outside the box.

you have to take out a bolt anyways might as well take off the ac compressor instead of dropping the engine then the pump will clear i watched the way toyota did it..

[auxmike]

I wouldn't do that, especially without a lift. When I used the prybar I didn't
Mess with any bolts..

[auxmike]

Bronsin, I pried on the center of the crank pulley, NOT the timing chain cover. You have to pull REAL hard whist sliding out the pumps. Those AC lines are thin aluminum tubing,watch out!

did my girls today. didn't drop the motor, but needed to pry it back about 1/2" to get the pump out and in. used a 1/2" breaker bar between the motor mount and the head. didn't need any force, the blocked moved easy.
