I bet it is the RH middle bolt that is slightly behind the power steering pulley.

I look in my Haynes manual and I can only find a picture for the bolts on a v6 water pump... and theres like 9 on it..

I bet it's the bolt that's holding on the air pump bracket.

I believe your right, the install guide im using doesnt have a good pic of the air pump uninstall. where is it? anyone have pics?

It is a stud that the AIR pump bracket slips over. You can se it in this pic, just above and to the right of the upper circled bolt holding on the AIR pump.

Hmm, I got that one off, its a little nut on it isnt it? If I have 4 long bolts, one shorter bolt (from the Passenger side, next to belt tensioner) and the nut off you pointed out, is everything off of it and its just stuck on there a little?

Dave89IROC

you have to take out the stud the nut goes on


it is a bolt with a stud out the top

Jeffs94Z28

how do you pull it out? plyers?

Dave89IROC

pull the AIR pump off and it is a bolt

the pic shoebox posted shows the AIR pump bolts

I'm pretty new to working on this car, the air pump is the black circular container?

Yes. There are three smaller bolts (10mm I think...) that hold the AIR pump to the bracket, then 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the block, not including the stud. Remove the AIR pump, then unbolt the bracket and slide it off the stud. You'll be able to remove the stud, which doubles as the middle right side bolt for the water pump.

Yes its the "Black circular container" Its in shoebox's picture. The part that has the hole running into it. If i was you i would try to get some plugs for your exhaust manifolds and pull the air pump, and mounting bracket off. It really cleans up the engine bay and it makes it quicker/easier to pull your waterpump off if you ever need to.
