Hi guys,

I am trying to find the easiest way to replace the water pump. I already have the replacement parts, but don't know how to locate and remove old one. Also, I am replacing the power steering pump and followed the link provided in a answer to another guys inuirey. I just don't know where to shop or an "remover"and "installer" tool. Hope this enough info for you to help me with.

Thanks,

J

p.s. I spent my money on the site you reffered too about the fuel pump. sorry.

I'm more familiar with the v6, but it looks like your water pump has a pretty simple bolt pattern around a more or less circular flange. The potential problem might be with the pulley. Looks like it's got three grooves for v-belts running to other accessories. Plus it might be that your pulley presses on rather than bolts on. Advance Auto has a replacement complete with pulley that might be a good choice if it's the press-fit type.

Advance also sells the power steering pulley puller/installer tool.
