How to change a water pump?
I have a geo metro 93 lsi 3 cylander car. I need to change the water pump. also the timing belt but i dont have the manual. id ont know how tight the belt needs to be on, any helP?How to change a water pump?I thought those cars came in 6 packs, and when one breaks you just crush it on your forehead like a beer can and pop a new one! LOL, No really I used to have a Sprint and the 3 banger was the same. The water pump is down usually behind the fan on the side of the motor, and roughly in the middle of the engine. It has a pulley on it and a belt that drives it. There will be an alternator, that has wires and lots of holes in it. Then you may have a pulley for the Air cond. if you have that. next is the power steering pump if you have it and that will have a place to fill it with fluid, so thats how you can tell what it is. Then the main fan belt on the big fan, and then should be a little pulley down in there that is sticking out of the engine. That should be your water pump. It will probably be in a tight place as they usually are. You will have to take all the components off that are in front of it to get to it. When you get all that stuff out of the way, the pump usually is just attached with a few bolts and a gasket. It may have to be forced off but dont use a screw driver or anything sharp to pry on it. I would hit the pulley end with a hammer lightly to knock it off. Use a good gasket remover and a rag over a piece of flat wood or hard plastic to clean it off. It is very important to have a totally clean surface on the motor to seal it to, or it will leak. I use denatured alcohol to clean the mating surfaces to remove any oils. It sounds like alot of attention to detail, but if you want to only do it once then it is worth it. Another thing is make sure you buy a high quality pump and have it tested if they can before you put it on. Dont ever buy a pump that has a %26quot;lifetime replacement warranty%26quot; because they know that if it doesnt work, they just give you another crappy one. You have to do all the work again and see it that one works. When you put it all together, try to resist using too much sealant. make sure you use a high temp good quality sealer and gasket. A light skin is all you need of the sealer on both the engine and new pump. Put the gasket on the pump and bolt it back, I usually give it over night to cure before I put fluid in and fire it up. I have had good luck with that combo.
As for the Timing belt, that is a little more involved and you have to take the side of the motor apart. It is not a job for amateurs as there are many parts to line up just right when you put the new belt on and if you mess it up your engine could be damaged when you crank it. It has to do with the timing of the engine and the top of the motor. With a manual and a friend that knows a bit about cars you should be able to do it. Good luck!How to change a water pump?Best bet is the library for a book. Geo and Suzuki share a lot of engineering and probably are the same in your case. Timing belt is tricky..no slack but don't over tighten
Is this the same car with injector problem? If so check the head gasket by doing a compression test, I think it's gone out on you from over heat. good luckHow to change a water pump?Timing belt has a tension-er and If you have never done this before, without supervision, I don't recommend it. When you go to start your engine, coolant will be everywhere period

How to change a water pump on a 1969 33 HP Johnsom Outboard?
don't worry the '69 33hp is mechanical shift, not electric.
There's a cover plate on the port side of the exhaust housing, near the bottom, held on by 2 screws. Take that off to access the shift rod connector. Disconnect the lower shift rod from the upper.
6 bolts hold the gearcase to the exhaust housing, take those out %26amp; pull the lower unit off. There's an o-ring on the drive near the splines -- that needs to be on there.
3 hex-head screws hold the pump housing in place. Pull it off over the drive shaft. Slide the impeller drive pin out %26amp; remove the impeller.
Remove the impeller base plate. If the housing %26amp; base aren't scratched or scored they can be reused.
Slide the new base plate over the drive shaft, followed by the new impeller. Insert the drive pin through the impeller %26amp; drive shaft.
Smear a dab of your trailer axle grease inside the housing, and slide the housing down over the impeller.
Using only your hand, turn the drive shaft clockwise while pushing housing down over the impeller. Don't use any kind of tool on the drive shaft splines.
Use molly lube on the driveshaft splines.
Use 3m #847 on the joint between lower unit and exhaust housing (permatex #2 is okay, just messier to apply %26amp; harder to clean off there next time).
Use OMC gasket sealant (or some kind of anti-sieze) on the threads of all the retaining bolts or else corrosion will freeze 'em in place.How to change a water pump on a 1969 33 HP Johnsom Outboard?I had a 1970 40HP, the water pump change was similar to newer outboards, drop the lower unit, replace the impeller and wear plate, and the housing if its damaged. Be careful of the wires coming down for the shift control if its electric shift, don't just yank the the lower unit off. A repair manual will give you more detail, its been a while since i changed it.

How diffifcult/expensive would it be to change the water pump on a 1990 toyota celica?
i believe it's a non-interface engineHow diffifcult/expensive would it be to change the water pump on a 1990 toyota celica?$200-300, because you pretty much change the timing belt at the same time.How diffifcult/expensive would it be to change the water pump on a 1990 toyota celica?depends if its got 1.6l motor its a external pump which is easier than the 2.0l or 2.2l which is driven by timing belt . drain out coolant remove part replace part fill with new coolant dont forget thermostat and gasketHow diffifcult/expensive would it be to change the water pump on a 1990 toyota celica?Pretty easy to do. First you need to take all the collant out of the system. This is done by disconnecting you lower hose running from your radiator. This will be messy and you will need something to hold the fluid. Cats love antifreeze and will drink it. It will kill them. So properly despense it.
Then while that is draining. Loosen you belt and remove that. Once that is removed you should have access to your pump. There will be bolts running around it that will need to be removed.
Then small flat head screwdriver should be able to work it free. Make sure to clean the housing where the pump was removed from all deposits and gaskets comes off to. Cleaner the better.
Before you put your new pump make sure to use silicone around it to hold the gasket on. Put, tighted bolts and follow throught putting everything else back on and your set. But dont forget your anitfreeze. Some might also replace thermostate to. Here is a link for a pump.

How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Taurus VIN "U"?
I looks like it has a motor mount bolted through it, and that seems like a pretty stupid design. Do you have to block up the motor?How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Taurus VIN %26quot;U%26quot;?I don't think it's bolted thru it, it just appears to be... I think it attaches to the upper intake if I remember.
if it's the 3.0 2 valve motor
Basically remove the dogbone, the coolant jug (after draining the fluid into a pan ..plug is under the plastic cover on left side)... remove the belt... remove the pulley and remove the water pump.... I can't remember if the hose attaches to the pump or the pump backing.. if it attaches to the pump remove it from the pump.... just reassemble and that's about the ust of it...

Start by getting all of the external stuff out of the way - the hood is tiny so remove it (trust me - it is a lot easier to work on a car with the hood off). Jack it up and put it on stands too.
Remove any accessory junk, coolant overflow, hoses, etc., be very careful with any wiring and connections - then start taking stuff off the engine - alternator, power steering pump, air conditioner compressor (you don't necessarily have to remove them, sometimes you can use zip-ties to hold them up out of the way).
Once you can access the front of the engine, remove the timing belt cover (sometimes easier said than done). I break most of them, because they aren't designed to come off while the engine is in the car (without jacking the engine up and removing a motor mount).
Be ABSOLUTELY SURE to check for timing marks on the crank and cam - if both gears do not have them, then you will need to mark the gears and the block/head so you can put it back into time when you put the new belt on. Failure to do so can cause a lot of wasted time, and could possibly damage the engine.
Turn the engine over (pulling the spark plugs makes this easier to do - and you probably need to inspect those anyway), until it is at 'TDC', meaning that both the crank and the cam timing marks are pointing straight up (the engine might be at a bit of a tilt).
Triple check your timing marks - and then release the tensioner (most people suggest replacing the tensioner along with the timing belt and water pump, but I never have). Remove the old belt, and then remove the water pump.
Install the new water pump - put the new timing belt on, line up your timing marks, and let the tensioner back down.
Cuss when it goes out of time when it tightens up and turns one or both gears. Release it again, and play with the way they are lined up so that when it tightens up that both crank and cam timing marks are EXACTLY lined up. If you put the whole thing back together and it isn't in time, you will be very mad.
Reassemble, and if you did everything right, fire it up!How much trouble is it to change the water pump on a 1996 geo metro 1.3 also the timing belt?Before you attempt those repairs, I suggest you go and get yourself a repair manual for your car. Some engines are harder and more complicated than others. The manual will give you step-by-step instructions on how to do those and many other repairs.

How difficult is it to change the water pump in a 2001 chrysler town and country?
today my can started squeeling and smoking under the hood.....5 min later it was overheating.....i was given an estimate of 300 dollars and was wandering if this is something that i could tackle myself?How difficult is it to change the water pump in a 2001 chrysler town and country?when the body style changed for 01, the water pump moved to the backside of the engine. you have to remove the pulley with the pump now, and you have to remove the motor mount or use a 4 ft prybar to move the engine to the left for clearance. you have to use a 10mm gearwrench for the top 2 bolts. it would be a horrible job to do without a hoist. you're probably better off to let them do it if you don't have the tools. if you have the equipment its not that bad. it takes 1.5 hours per the labor time guide.How difficult is it to change the water pump in a 2001 chrysler town and country?its a pretty hard job on that one to do,if you was given the price of 300 ,id take it,because by the time you get it done you will have wished you had paid to have it done,there hard to get too,and very little room to work in also,id think about it before i started on it,because once you start it ,you just about have to finish it,take a look at it in the day time,there's not much room in there too work on this one with,good luck on it.How difficult is it to change the water pump in a 2001 chrysler town and country?3.0 is under the timing cover, may as well do the timing belt at the same time. on a 3.3 all you need to do is remove the rf wheel and splash pan, remove the serpentine belt and its visible towards the front. 1.5-2 hrs. not sure on the 3,8. hope this helpsHow difficult is it to change the water pump in a 2001 chrysler town and country?If you T%26amp;C has the 3.8.its about an hour's job,with the proper tools.I just had mine done-2000 T%26amp;C.

Timing belt and water pump change?
I must change the timing belt of my car. I have been told that the water pump must be done too since it is right there. Due to the high price I want to postpone/skip the water pump until the next tune up. What happens if the water pump fails down the road? How long does a water pump last? 120K? My car has 60,000 miles on it. Thank you.Timing belt and water pump change?I always suggest at same time. Most timing belt jobs are 4-5 hour jobs and all of that has to be removed to replace the water pumpp, which could be in a week a month or a year (roll the dice) it doesn't usually take much if any additional labor to replace the pump when everything else is out of the way usually just the cost of the pump itself. if you wait and say a month later the water pump goes out you would have the expense of the pump AND ALL THE LABOR AGAIN.Timing belt and water pump change?The reason you are being told to change both at the same time is because the tear down is almost exactly the same to do both of those actions. It's highly recommended that you change both because you are probably gonna pay for 5 hours labour to change the timing belt then you are gonna pay for another 5 hours of labour when you take you car back to change the water pump, whereas had you simply changed the water pump at the same time it would have only added about 45 minutes of labour to the total labour...
Do both at the same time or don't bother doing any till you can afford both!Timing belt and water pump change?You don't have to renew the water pump. They mention it because it becomes easily accessible during the timing belt replacement. The extra cost should only be the cost of the water pump. So it's often sensible to include the water pump at the same time. If you do it at the next service it will cost you at least the same as you are paying now for the belt job.Timing belt and water pump change?There is no guarantee on how long the water pump will last, but normally 100,000 miles plus. But that is true of a timing belt too. The water pump has a weep hole at the bottom, visually check for corrosion or rust in that area. If you see some, could be a sign that it is ready to go soon. If not, then do the repairs that you can afford. But why the heck are you changing a timing belt at 60,000 miles.Timing belt and water pump change?not a good idea

How to change a water pump in 89 Honda Prelude SI?
do i need to pull the timing cover off? do i need to drop the motor?How to change a water pump in 89 Honda Prelude SI?Yes you need to pull off the timing cover because the water pump is driven by the timing belt, or at least in the way of it . No you dont have to drop the motor.How to change a water pump in 89 Honda Prelude SI?CAREFULLY!!!! Thats all the knowledge I have for Non American cars. Yes, I do a Hyundai, but I don't dare mess with that stuff on it, just oil, brakes, and intake and exhaust.How to change a water pump in 89 Honda Prelude SI?It is essentially the same as a timing belt change to get to it, plus the simple pump change itself. The pump is driven by the timing belt (see first source) so this is the time to replace the belt, too. I'm not familiar with the Prelude, but in most Accords and Civics of that era the driver's side motor mount is removed to make room. The engine is supported by a floor jack under the oil pan, which also allows the end of the engine to be dropped a bit for better access.How to change a water pump in 89 Honda Prelude SI?I did a head-gasket job on my car, but before I did my head-gasket job, I replaced the water pump with a life-time warranty.
Really the only thing I had to do was make enough room to get my socket/ratchet by the water pump bolts. I only had to remove the radiator, and then the fan. I had plenty of room to replace my water pump. Not sure on your car, but it pretty much the same for any situation. If you have the room to get your tools in there.
The only reason you would take the timing cover off was to inspect or remove your old timing belt and or timing chain depending on what one you have.

But is there a secret to get this fixed without pulling the motor???How do I change the water pump in an Eclipse?Most likely you DONT have to take engine out...?

How to change a water pump on a 1964 corvette stingray.?
I need step by step instructions, as this is a 75,000 dollar car, and I dont want to break it. I also cant afford to take it in to a mechanic.How to change a water pump on a 1964 corvette stingray.?It's pretty easy, I'll walk you through it. Start by draining the cooling system. If your radiator has a petcock, open it and drain the coolant into a bucket or some other container. If your radiator does not have a petcock, loosen the lower radiator hose clamp and let the fluid drain out. If it's draining really slowly, take the radiator cap off to release the vacuum pressure.
While the old pump is still mounted, remove all of it's plugs and fittings. Next, loosen and remove the fan, belts, brackets and hoses.
Now you can unbolt the old water pump. Be sure to use a scraper to clean all of the old gasket material off of the engine block (this is important).
You will have to remove the fan mounting studs from the fan hub on the old water pump. This can be done by using a pair of vise grips, stud puller socket or double nuts. To use double nuts, put two nuts onto the stud, tighten one against the other, then using a wrench on the nut closest to the hub, twist the stud out. One nut will lock against the other and you will twist the stud right out.
Put some teflon tape onto the threads of any plug or fitting that has been removed from the water pump and screw them into the new one. Carefully place the new gasket onto the pump.
Install the new pump. Work slowly and make sure the gaskets stay in place. Before you screw the bolts all the way down, apply some thread sealer on the threads to prevent water from seeping past and causing a drip at the bolt head.
Once the new pump is in, re-install the hoses and hose clamps. Now install the belts, pulleys, brackets and fan. Snug the fan into place. It's a lot easier to tighten the bolts down after the belts have been adjusted to the proper tension.
Once everything's back where it should be, fill the radiator with new engine coolant and start it up. Run it for 10-15 min or until it reaches operating temperature then shut it off. Go back under the hood and check for leaks. If everything looks good, you're done!How to change a water pump on a 1964 corvette stingray.?Dude, spend some lightweight coin on a Chilton's manual (which should cover the basic job of a water pump change) or, get on eBay and rustle up a genuine GM Factory Service Manual for your car.

How do you change the water pump in a 1996 Isuzu Oasis/Honda Odyssey?
I can not find a Chilton book for these models locally, so if you have one and could scan me the pages, cool! If not and you have the answer to my question, I need it! Please, don't answer me by telling me to take it to a mechanic. It is a $57 part tops, and they want between $400 - 800 to fix it.
Thank you!How do you change the water pump in a 1996 Isuzu Oasis/Honda Odyssey?The Isuzu has a timing pump driven water pump, so if the timing belt is due to be replaced, both jobs are normally done at the same time along with replacing the timing belt tensioner pulley. It'a an %26quot;interference%26quot; type engine that bends the valves if the belt breaks and ruins the engine. The reason the shops want $700 is because they're doing a complete timing belt replacement to get to the water pump.

How do you change a water pump in 1995 silverado 5.7 350?
Coolant is leaking at a good pace from the water pump. I need to replace it. Is this a job that I can do myself? What are the steps? Should I replace the lower hose and flush the radiator too?
Or would it be better to just take it to the mechanic? Whats a fair price for that?
thanks i really appreciate itHow do you change a water pump in 1995 silverado 5.7 350?Based on your questions I would say take it to a mechanic. Have the hoses replaced while you're at it.

I need to get info on how to change thw water pump and timming belt on a 88 prelude si 2.0 engine?
what do i need to remove in order to replace the water pump on a 1988 honda prelude?I need to get info on how to change thw water pump and timming belt on a 88 prelude si 2.0 engine?FIRST find the timing mark on the balancer pulley and set it to top dead center, usually on a honda its the red mark or center mark on the pulley. The mark is on the very outer edge of the belt groove and there are usually 3 together on a honda. Carefully remove the balancer pulley, you will need a 17 mm socket and a 12 mm socket to remove the pulley. After you remove the pulley and belt you may find that the power steering pump needs to be removed from the bracket to give you room to work. You dont need to disconnect the hoses from it usually. then take the timing cover bolts off and remove the plastic timing cover. Best thing to do now is to have a Haynes manual to follow to continue because it will describe step by step how to properly time the motor and reset the belt tension. Those are VERY important so follow the instructions PRECISELY!I need to get info on how to change thw water pump and timming belt on a 88 prelude si 2.0 engine?the timing belt and timing cover, try alldatadiy dot com, it will give you step by step instructions for shade trees.I need to get info on how to change thw water pump and timming belt on a 88 prelude si 2.0 engine?If you buy from autozone they can print all the info out. or you could buy a repair manual for $ 20I need to get info on how to change thw water pump and timming belt on a 88 prelude si 2.0 engine?Yeah get a Chilton's manual.
