WATER PUMPS

Water Pump Removal

(1) Drain cooling system. If equipped with air-conditioning, remove radiator.

(3) On engines without air-conditioning remove alternator bracket attaching bolts from water pump. Swing alternator out of the way and tighten pivot bolt.
(4) On engines with air-conditioning, remove alternator, adjusting bracket, and power steering pump attaching bolts and set aside.
(5) Remove fan blade, spacer (or fluid unit), pulley and bolts as an assembly.

(7) Remove air-conditioning compressor pulley and field coil assembly.
(8) Remove water pump-to-compressor front mount bracket bolts and bracket.
