need help with water pump
my water pump went out, we are having trouble figuring out how exactly to get it off. we had all the bolts out and it still wouldtnt come loose. whats going on??? what am i forgetting? how much does a water pump usually run??? thanks

A water pump will run you about 50 bucks unless you get an electric one from CSI or something that will run you in the high 150's. You can take all the bolts off the pump but there's a whole bulch of stuff you gotta take off before the pump comes off. Brackets and stuff.

Not too hard,it takes time.Especially your first time.There are six bolts holding it on.You may have to pry it off.It is siliconed on.Clean the surfaces good.Use gaskets and silicone to reseal it when assembling.

Make sure you removed the air pump if you still have it.
Waterpump was the first think that I replaced on my car. I bought a mieziere and it is still going.

also do we have a timing belt or chain??? the blade that is connected to the cam shaft, does it come off with the water pump housing.

Just did mine today, you will need to remove the air pump and the bracket that holds the air pump also. Outside of that, disconnect a bunch of hoses and have at it. Helpful hint, get rid of all the stock clamps and get new ones in case your waterpump takes a dump within the month or so, ask me how I know. It will make doing this job easier the next time around.
