Hi,

I removed all the drive belt, removed the pulley bolts, and removed the pump mounting bolts. However, there just seems not enough space in front of the pump to be able to pull it out completely. I tried tilting to every angle. Have spent hours on it. Just can't pull it out. How can this be? Is there a trick to pull it out?

Thanks,

Kamran

According to the procedure the pulley must be off in order to remove the pump. Here is a pic.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU CANT TAKE THE PULLEY TOTALY OFF EVEN WITH THE BOLTS OUT. YOU WILL NEED A BIG SOLID PRY BAR AND GO BY THE SAME SIDE OF THE WATER PUMP IS ON AND MOVE THE ENGINE OVER TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE, IT WILL MOVE ENOUGH TO GET THE PULLEY OF .IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, IV DONE LOTS OF THESE AT THE DEALERSHIP,THATS WHAT WE WHERE TOLD AT THE CHRYSLER SCHOOL, IT DOES WORK WELL , LET ME KNOW. THANKS HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
