i thought the water pump was behind the pulleys mounted to the crankshaft but once all three pulleys (or two pulleys and harmonic balancer?) were off i see a large iron mounting bracket for most stuff on the front of this engine and also behind it another sheet metal cover.
Is the water pump behind all this stuff?
Will i have dismantled timing components before they're free to come off?
I'm a little overwhelmed here.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,

The water pump is located behind the water pump pulley, about the middle of the engine.
To replace the water pump, the crank pulley will need to be removed.

I have attached the replacement procedure below with diagrams for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
