Water Pump Install Fail! Help!

Recommended Posts

Anyone know how to remove the timing belt cover? Putting a water pump in is a right pain! Anyone tried this?

I've got down to 'trying' to remove the timing belt covers. But even though I've removed all the bolts I can see and feel it still won't budge.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. If I can get the covers off I think I'm almost done.

If someone can help I'm sure I could provide some £££. I'm in Kent just off jnc 2 M25, near Brands Hatch.

If yours is the two piece cover it has NINE bolts holding the two pieces on. Have you gt all the bolts out.

Thanks,

I'll take another look. Also do I have to jack up the car to do this? Do I remove the engine mounts? I'm finding it very difficult to get access.

You need to jack up the car to get to the crank pulley. I always take engine mount off on any car to give yourself more room.

My car is a GT 2.0 ST202 3SFE, Jap import.

I havent managed to take the crank pulley off yet. I must be doing it all wrong. Do I unbolt the engine mount to gain access?

I dont think u have to take the mount off but the crank pulley needs to come off probably need an impact gun or wrench for that otherwise u may split your socket like i did. Once that is off the two covers should come off and from there on it should be pretty straight forward.

someone who cant remove a timing cover in my opinion should not be touching water pumps or crank pulleys . it may end up in tears before bedtime. but be my guest im all for diy repairs, its how i learned .

Might aswell have a go he's probably just missed a bolt, think on mine you have to take the idler pulley off on the crank pulley belt aswell as it obscures one of the cover bolts, i think. Once you have done it once you won't have a problem doing it again.
