  • What is involved in replacing a water pump in a 2002 Chrysler Sebring?

    The dealership quoted me like 400 dollars in repairs using almost 10 hours of labor JUST for a frickin' water pump. I haven't had time to actually look at the car, but surely I can change a water pump in about 2. Anyone have ANY idea how this goes? I've changed pumps in older cars you could walk around in the engine compartment, but surely I shouldn't have to pull the engine to replace a common part.What is involved in replacing a water pump in a 2002 Chrysler Sebring?this depends on if it is a 3.2 or a 3.5 ohc. if it's a 3.5 then yes that is reasonable...as the water pump is driven by the cam belt. If it's a 3.2 then no...done both of them...the 3.2 is much easier. If it's a 2.7b then I'm not sure.

    How do you change the water pump impeller on a Mariner 8 hp outboard motor?

    I have separated the Mariner 8 hp lower unit from the upper unit , taken apart the water pump, replaced the impeller and pusher the lower unit up on to the upper unit. It guides on fine until the last inch. It feels like the drive shaft is not alligning with the engine drive acceptor socket. The shift linkage appears and feels to be in place. The exhaust down tube feels like it is lined up. I tried turning the prop to rotate the drive shaft but it wont go together that last inch. Can some one help ????How do you change the water pump impeller on a Mariner 8 hp outboard motor?you may have to put the lower unit in fwd gear so as you are pushing up you can move the prop and the drive shaft at the same time to aid in aligning the splines.How do you change the water pump impeller on a Mariner 8 hp outboard motor?Ensure the %26quot;male%26quot; notch is inline with the %26quot;female%26quot; notch?How do you change the water pump impeller on a Mariner 8 hp outboard motor?okay..listen up, first you need to make sure you have removed the internal rotation drive modulator from the outer expulsion shaft. once you have done that you can safely align the exterior drive acceptor socket. if you put too much torque on the alternating drive train adaptor, you will snap the linkage and possibly damage your fuel cell resistors.



    thanks for letting me waste 30 seconds of your times cause I really have no clue. good luck, though...I would take it to a boat shop and have them do it.



    might be your best betHow do you change the water pump impeller on a Mariner 8 hp outboard motor?G'Day Sailinguy,

    I have done water pumps on a few different brands of outboard motors, not a Mariner though, but they are all basically the same. The first and most important thing to observe is the water tube is correctly mated to the power head or you will damage the motor through overheating. Make sure the gear shift is in a position that makes the linkage at it's lowest point in the leg, so that it can be connected and tightened later. Ensure the gear box is in the matching position, this is usually in the forward position. If the motor is still on the boat, tilt it up to the maximum position as it makes replacing the gear box assembly a bit easier. Slide the assembly into the leg and keep checking all is going where it is supposed to be going.

    Once the drive shaft is starting to engage the crank spline do not twist the gear box, instead rotate the propeller clockwise and anti-clock wise through about a 1/4 turn, as you continue to GENTLEY push the gear box, until it engages and slides home. Insert a bolt hand tight and relax, put the rest of the bolts in and tighten in sequence so as not to stress the casing and possibly fracture it, tighten to the required torque and your done.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:- DO NOT USE THE BOLTS TO %26quot;PULL%26quot; THE GEAR BOX HOME. This may damage the spline if it not lined up correctly or strip the thread in the casing. Also if you have cleaned off all of the grease it would be wise to re-grease the spline with the recommended marine grease. I hope this is of some help.

    How do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?

    My dad said he doesnt know how to open the power stareing pully, becuase its infront of the water pump. Any one know how? thanksHow do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?I've found that chilton and haynes books are generally too vauge to do much good, however they are still nice to have handy. I prefer factory service manuals that can be found online for fairly cheap.



    As for the PS pulley, there should be a couple bolts (13mm, I believe) that hold the whole assembly to the motor. DO NOT remove the fluid lines as the whole system will need to be bled if you do. After you get the bolts off (accessible by the service hole in the puley itself, you have to remove the belt and spin the pulley by hand until the hole is lined up with the bolt), the whole assembly should come free.How do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?what engine does it have?How do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?Why don't you go to the auto parts store and buy a Chilton's manual,that way you can see the pictures and if you have any more problems you can look in your manual.they only cost about twenty bucks.Ive had one for just about every car Ive owned.They have saved me thousands of dollars in repair bills.Good luck.How do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?I had one of them, it was an 89 or something, good car.

    That is was a problem with them, but look at a haynes or Chiltons.How do you change the water pump in a buick regal 97?If the power steering pump pulley is pressed on and not bolted on (your dad will probably know what I'm talking about), go to an auto parts store like Autozone (it's free there. You pay for it and then when you bring it back they give you all your money back)) and rent a power steering pump pulley puller (no I'm not joking). Then your dad can get to the bolts and move the power steering out of the way. Most new GM power steering units are like that and it's pretty easy to get off. I've done it lots of times. You don't even really need a book for this job. Here's a link to the tool your dad needs.

    How to change a water pump in a diahatsu?

    hi can anyone tell me how to, or if there is a website, pdf file or guide to the removal and refit of a water pump in a 2.5 litre n/a diahatsu fourtrack engine please?



    ps haynes do not do a manual for this vehical.How to change a water pump in a diahatsu?Used to work on Daihatsu 4 traks. If i recall correctly, the waterpump was fairly accessible when you removed the radiator. The engine in the 4 trak was an old Toyota design and not too complicated. Long arms were a help. No issues with bleeding the system after fitting either.

  • How difficult is it to change a water pump on a Mercury?

    I'm buying a motor, but it's been sitting for a year and the water pump needs to be replaced.



    How difficult is this to do? I've never worked on a motor before.



    The motor is a 40 hp Mercury (2 stroke) from 1997.



    What other maintenance should be done?How difficult is it to change a water pump on a Mercury?Its very easy. You unbolt the lower unit and if you can put it in a stand. Unbolt the water pump housing and lift it off the drive shaft. Have the rebuild kit ready. Replace all the pieces the way they came off. Grease the splines on the drive shaft and put it all back together.How difficult is it to change a water pump on a Mercury?That depends... will the motor be attached to a moving boat at the time?How difficult is it to change a water pump on a Mercury?Not a hard job but a few things to be concerned about. The stainless steel bolts in the lower can sometimes be stuck and hard to remove without some type af penetrate oil. Also remember to remove the shift linkage . You might have to shift gears to get it back connected. When installing the rubber inpeller, be sure you turn the shaft in the correct direction when installing to avoid damage when the motor starts up. The water pump tube ( maybe brass )will have to be inserted carfully before the lower will come together for a final fit.

    I would open the carb drain screws and run some gas through before starting to remove any old gas or gas residue. Lower unit oil should be checked by removing the lowest drain screw and observing what comes out. If it looks contaminated, Drain and replace. Check again after your first river run or outing to determin if seals are bad. Good luckHow difficult is it to change a water pump on a Mercury?why go to the trouble of doing this yourself?You SHOULD have the manual that you can buy from the dealer(your going to get the parts from him)The total price of having the dealer do this for you should be less than $80.00 and you will receive a warranty on the parts and labour.

    How long does it take to change a water pump in an 88 chevy celebrity?

    How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?

    I have coolant leaking out and i'm pretty sure now that it is the water pump. Question can water pumps leak even if the cars not running?Like a steady drip every two seconds? Forming a decent puddle after awhile, but when running the pump is'nt making any abnormal noises is that normal? Is there other clues to positively know the pump is bad? I cant believe how hard a job it looks like it would be to replace it there is no room! Anybody with some helpful how to's? how about an estimate on how much a shop would charge to do it?How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?Put a jack under the oil pan with a 2x4 between the pan and the jack face. You will have to take the serpentine belt loose, the idler is below the power steering pump, and then support the engine on the jack and remove the passenger side motor mount. There is an aluminium L-shaped bracket to remove and then a cast iron piece with 4 bolts holding it to the engine. Remove also the alternator, as it will get in the way. Once the motor mount is out you can remove the serpentine belt. Now you will need to remove the bolts holding the stamped serpentine pulley to the water pump, I believe there are 4 of them and I think they are 8 mm. You cannot, however, take the pulley out until the water pump is off. So now you have to take the bolts out of the water pump and pull it out, clean the mating surface for the new pump, and reinstall, just make sure to put the serpentine pulley over the water pump before you try to put the pump back in.





    On a side note, before you go apeshit with all of this, pull the iginition module and coil pack mounting bracket off the front of the engine and check the bypass hose to see if it has a hole in it before you go right to the water pump. I had this go on the wife's car, and overzealous idiot that I am, I just assumed it was a water pump. Several hours, busted knuckles, and beers later, I discovered that it was a bad hose that cost me 6 bucks and took 15 minutes to install, not the 40 dollar water pump.How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?Yes, water pump seals will leak all the time (worse when under pressure). It is not a hard job if you now what your doing. Get a repair manual and make sure you have all the right tools and parts before you start.How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?http://www.automotiveforums.com/How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?A repair shop will charge about $200 to fix that problem. If you have a jack and a jack stand the lack of room wont be much of a problem anymore. It only a matter of getting the belt covers and timing covers off, and the water pump pully off. The pully can be tricky. since It is a car '92 and younger you may have a problem with a gear slipping and the motor needing timed. If your paticular car needs timed by the belts and pullys, then no problem line up the notches in the gears as they go. But if the timing is off by the valves, Then your in for a long night of work and slight frustration.

    If you dont really know what you are doing at all, Then don't bother with it, leave it up to the pros, so that your car actually runs when the pump is put in. It took me 8 hours to fix one in a '99 honda CivicHow hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?Go to parts store get CHILTONS manual for your car. Make sure your problem is in book. Chiltons, other books not as good. Local library may have book.

    Biggest problem is ,usually, find the proper bolts to remove.

    Not too big a chore really. Be sure all old gasket material is removed from the engine where the new pump wiil seal.

    Do not turn the water pump shaft on the new pump any more than necessary, they have a mechanical seal that can be damaged.

    Probably a four hour job for the inexperienced.

    If it's necessary to pull radiator the book will tell you, that would add a couple hours.How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the 3.3 Liter motor?I have a 94 grand am with the 3.1 v6 and really it's an easy job, it looks harder than it is.

    How much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump on a new Dodge Durango?

    How much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump and on a 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 4 wd with 109k.miles? Should I change the timing chain? If you can please give me a estimated Thank You!



    I getting tired of old Vechiles LOLHow much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump on a new Dodge Durango?The cheapo water pump from oreillys is $46, the higher end one is around $70. As far as labor, Mitchell OnDemand calls for 2 hours flag rate time to change it out. You'll probably be looking at at least 1 gallon of antifreeze as well for what will be lost changing it out, and I would recommend changing the thermostat when you change the water pump. The 5.9 uses a timing chain, which I wouldnt recommend replacing, seeing as the vehicle has that low of miles on it. I'm not sure how much labor costs in your area, but the shop I work at charges $75 per flag rate hour. So if we were to do it, taxes and everything it would be right around $250. If you live in a big city, you'll probably be expecting to pay around $100 a hour for labor at a reputable shop. Good luck and hope this helps.How much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump on a new Dodge Durango?I do not know where you live, your best bet would be to find a reputable garage in your area and get an estimate from them. Most will give you a rough idea of what you are looking at.

    I would not go to a Dealership, you would have to get a loan for a dealer to do the same job.



    A friend of mine that has a 2006 Ford F-150 was given a quote of $1200 to do a tune up from a Ford Dealer, I sent him to the garage that does the work on all of my vehicles, he did everything the Dealership was going to do and charged him $300. So, shop around and see what kind of price you can get, see if you can find anything out about the garage about what kind of work they do, will they stand behind there work or not.How much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump on a new Dodge Durango?it can cost alot($900 +) to have someone do it.i would recommend doing it yourself if you know a little about cars. you have to remove the fan shroud and the radiator to get to the water pump. it isnt very hard, but can take a while.



    you probably dont need to replace the timing chain unless you can hear it or know its going bad, as long as you change your oil regularly then you should be good.How much would it be in labor and parts to change a water pump on a new Dodge Durango?i wouldn't change the timing chain and gears in it not unless its over 150 thousand,on the labor and parts for all that it only cost about 600 bucks to get all that done and that's with parts and labor,its not that expensive on a 5.9, good luck.

    It was supossed to have been changed last year but my alarm keeps going off and the temp light is on and the stream of water coming out is a trickle. Is there anything other than the water pump it could be? I cleaned out the little valve the water line runs into.How hard is it to change a water pump on a Honda 50 hrs outboard 4 stroke?you already have good answers above me I just want to get Straight 2 the points because you are mr nice guy to us.How hard is it to change a water pump on a Honda 50 hrs outboard 4 stroke?Well it could be a blocked intake, and it could be a failed thermostat - but first step would be to replace the impeller. If the engine was supposed to have a new one a year ago then you have a straight forward job to do, and you knew it was due.



    If the engine is fifty hours old then this should be the first service/tune from the dealer. Without knowing what size the engine is it is pointless suggesting more at this point.



    Water pumps are not hard to do, and should be done every year, or two years at the most. The leg should be dropped every year as this will allow this service, and keep the bolts etc. free and allow you to examine for deterioration in out of sight places....



    You should have a manual, if you do not then buy one - it is cheap insurance and you will always have it to refer to for any niggling questions.

    They can both be easy depending on model and clearance.



    I know yours snapped but I will give you the whole run down.



    If it has one belt for the whole engine then you find the tensioner pulley and put a breaker bar with right size socket on it and push against it and that take off tension. With other hand remove belt. Kinda hard your first time but it gets easier next time you need to do it. Then after you have removed the belt you simply run the new belt around the pulleys. There should be a diagram if you forgot how it went. After the belt is the proper way and you get back to the tensioner. Simply put the breaker bar on it again and push against it and slip belt under and your down!



    If you have more then one belt on the front.

    You find which pulleys it is on and look for a tensioner. If it doesn't have a tensioner then you need to loosen something to remove the tension. I always pick the easiest thing. Practice will help you decide. After getting slack, add the belt to the pulleys and put tension back on. Do not make it to tight though.



    I would say that the best thing to do is find a chassis manual for it and it will show a breakdown of it.

    I recommend going to your local library and looking for the manuals there. Even if you can't find a legit manual there at least they will have the auto store ones and will save you some money. I am very fortunate for what my local library has.

    I DO NOT recommend the manuals you can get at the auto parts stores. The Chilton's and the Haynes manuals are hit and miss.

    I have done to much work because someone thought they could do it themselves and bought a manual only for it to say %26quot;Take to dealer%26quot; Well whats the point and buying a manual to do it yourself if it tells you to take it to the dealer?



    Also check the forum boards. I have found them to be a wonderful resource myself.

    How long does it take to change a water pump on a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 and what all has to be taken off?

    I have a 1969 Ford Galaxie and the thermostat stuck shut long enough to puke the water pump, and I am going to change it Thursday and I was wondering how long the labor takes and what all does it involve?How long does it take to change a water pump on a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 and what all has to be taken off?it takes around a 6 pack and time depends on what accy package your running and what engine package.How long does it take to change a water pump on a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 and what all has to be taken off?It's at least an hour and a half job. You will have to remove the rad, the fan and the pulleys. Some will tell you that you don't need to remove the rad, but if you follow that advice you will have a whole lot less room to work in. It certainly involves more work (disconnecting the hoses and the trans coolant lines) but if you're going to do the job, do it right the first time. And make sure you use the right %26quot;gasket in a tube%26quot; when you mount the new pump and allow it enough time to cure.How long does it take to change a water pump on a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 and what all has to be taken off?The thermostat being stuck shut shouldn't have done anything to the waterpump... what's wrong with the pump? Does it make noise when the engine is running...? Is the car overheating? Lots of questions I have because this one doesn't make sense.



    To answer the Q directly, the average mechanic should take 1-2 hours max depending on several factors and how talented they are. As was mentioned, some folks will take the radiator out and others will not. Since the 69 Galaxie is a large car (most folks these days would call it a %26quot;boat%26quot;), there should be tons of room under the hood to work on the car. Whether or not you can remove %26amp; reinstall the water pump without removing the radiator depends on a fan shroud, a clutch assembly on the fan and whether or not there's an A/C pump installed on the engine. A basic engine will be easiest to work on because there won't be any other parts getting in the way. A loaded engine might have other parts in the way that need to be loosened or removed to facilitate repairs. If so, that makes the repair take longer.



    On a really basic engine, you won't actually need to remove the radiator to get the job done. However, I myself still recommend removing the radiator anyway. There are only 4 bolts holding it to the core support and the 2 hoses have one clamp each. The reason to remove it is twofold: 1) you cannot accidentally damage it with a bolt or wrench if it isn't in there and 2) you have that much more room to work. To me... it's just worth it to remove the radiator and not worry about it.



    Bottom line here? It should take 1-2 hours max. There can be complications... if you have the wrong waterpump then you'll have to return to a parts store for the right one. This happens occasionally unless you take the old pump with you to the parts store (recommended!). The bolts can be frozen into the block... thus they can be a real problem to remove. Best advice there is to have a super high amount of patience. You might also damage the threads in the block when removing the waterpump bolts even IF you have patience. Corrosion is a real ***** sometimes... and waterpump bolts are notorious for becoming corroded over time. If the threads get damaged... it'll take time to repair the threads with a Heli-coil.



    Also, you'll need to clean the mating surfaces for the gasket really well. Don't damage the block... just make sure all the remains of the old gasket are gone. Clean the metal with something that doesn't leave a residue like Acetone, lacquer thinner or an electrical parts cleaner. If the threads on the bolts look good, clean them really well and reuse them. If they're really bad, replace them! If you need to, go to a bolt supply shop in your area for replacement bolts. They don't need to be grade 8... grade 5 will work just fine. Just make sure they're not cheap, foreign made bolts with no plating on them. Also, remember what holes the bolts came from... some will be of a different length than the others. Draw a little diagram for yourself on a piece of cardboard and punch some holes in it to hold the bolts. That way, they won't get mixed up.



    Lastly, it's wise to chase the threads in the block with the right sized tap. That cleans out any gunk or sealer from the threads and allows the bolts to be replaced with success. Also clean the threads with a non-residue degreaser or the previously mentioned electrical parts cleaner. A spray can works best, just blow out the holes afterwords with a healthy blast of air. When replacing the bolts, use an anti-seize on the bolt threads. Use just enough to do the job... don't go overboard. Also, depending on the engine, you might need to use gasket sealer on the threads of one or two bolts. Why? Because the bolt protrudes into the water jacket. Fail to use gasket sealer on those bolts and you might end up having a small leak. It should be obvious if the bolt does need sealer... because you'll see sealer on the bolt when you remove it, it'll be rusty looking or discolored compared to the other bolts AND because if you have a shop manual? It'll tell you so :-) Remember though... don't use both anti-seize and gasket sealer on bolts. Use one or the other. Water jacket protruding bolts ONLY get gasket sealer. All others get only anti-seize.



    Best wishes!

    I need to know how to change water pump on a 1989,65 hp johnson have problem getting lower unit to drop down?

    Not sure if your particular model is the same as mine, but there are usually two things that cause a bit of a problem with leg removal.



    First thing is the gear selector rod, some of the OMC range of outboards have a small clamp that connects the reversing lever to the selector rod. If you follow the shaft that goes into the engine housing from the reversing lever, it leads right under the engine block very low down.



    Attached to the end of this is a small bellcrank with the mentioned bolted coupling ( usually two bolts ) undo the lower bolt to release the gear shaft.



    The above assumes that the leg is moving away from the upper unit by about a fingers width, moving the gear selector will confirm that this is what is fouling.



    If the leg is still fixed firmly and you are sure that all the holding bolts have been released, then the problem usually lies in the upper gear shaft having siezed in the engine drive spline.



    I suggest you take the motor to a repair shop because you have to get a bit physical with the lower unit and it is very easy to do some serious damage.



    Hope this helpsI need to know how to change water pump on a 1989,65 hp johnson have problem getting lower unit to drop down?Here's an exploded view of the lower unit.

    How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Chrysler 300M?

    Weap seal is starting to leak and getting some noise from the water pump. These cars are not as easy as a 1969 Camaro to change the water pump. Can you please give me some guidance? Thx in advance.How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Chrysler 300M?It's easier than you think. Pull front covers off under hood that cover radiator area. One is a plastic guard and under that is the metal support. Pull electric fan out by onbolting it from sides and 2 clips on top and eletrical connector. Now you have room to work. Loosen belts by losening bolt in center of pulley then loosen them by turning adjustment bolt. pull off belts then pull off these pullies with their brackets as one unit off front cover. Take off front covers by taking off 10mm bolts. Crank area has a triangle shaped plate and you can and just loosen bottom 10mm bolt and take off the two above. now slide cover up and you can see water pump. Set cams on their marks for reference, they have a dot on cams and a slot on housings. loosen timing belt tensioner on bottom of engine and evenly pull bolts to get slack on timing belt about one inch should be enough. now you can pull pump off and slide it out being carefull not to let belt slip on cams and lose timing. install the same way, then slowly turn each bolt up on hydrolic tensioner to ease tensioner center pin back to position. make sure timing marks are ok then put everthing back by reverse order. Or you can also pull radiator and bottom crank pulley with a 3 jaw puller and replace belt with new one. This involves pulling out tensioner also. tensioner can be collapsed in vice slowly then use suitable pin to go through cener pin and its case to keep it collapsed, set on new belt and pull pin after tensioner is installed to set belt tension. I hope this helps, Iv'e done this on a few 3.5 litres my self. GOOD LUCK.How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Chrysler 300M?Depends..how patient are you? Good tool selection? In 1969 all water pumps could be seen by opening the hood. can't say that now. Let a good independant shop or a dealer do it. If something goes wrong, it's on their back, not yours.

If you have coolant leaking from the back side of the motor it is not the water pump. Are you sure that it's coming from the block and not from a heater hose? Your heater hose's go in through the lower-middle of fire wall behind the motor(be sure to check the metal lines as well).How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?If it is leaking from the back side of the block then it is more than likely not the water pump. The water pump only leaks from its mating surface to the engine block, or most commonly, through a drip hole located directly under the water pump drive shaft. A leak on the back side could be a blown head gasket. You should verify where the exact leak is before you start replacing a bunch of stuff.How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?There is a weep hole on the bottom of all water pumps, this lets you know that the bearing in the water pump is worn out by dripping a small amount of coolant. Most auto parts stores will rent or let you use a cooling system pressure tester, which will pressurize your cooling system and let you look around the engine without it running or being to hot to get close to. There are plenty of manuals that will walk you through changing the pump, its really not too hard.
