88pathoffroad Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Edit by 88pathoffroad: Sorry, had to take the link down, AC removed it so it's not there for anyone anymore. Just thought I'd toss this up for everyone to read, just in case. The subject DOES come up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyDevil Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Am laughing, wish this forum and info would have been around the first time i had to replace my timing belt, the second time was when I had to replace the water pump... decided that would save me headaches later on. I can suggest to any of you with higher mileage pathy's... do them both at once.. it was less than 10,000 miles between my timing belt and water pump going.

88pathoffroad Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 AC took the link down after I changed a few of the pictures. Sorry. The water pump's pretty straight-forward...got a Chilton's book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 DustyDevil is very right. If you remove the fan/fan clutch from the waterpump and reinstall it, it will have a different balance. If your waterpump is old, often times it will accelerate the wear on the bushing. I've changed many a waterpump that was aged but still worked just because I was there and didn't want to return 6 months later. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 -study- does this problem (balance and bushings) apply if the water pump is new but the other parts are the originals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 What problem? We're just basically saying, if it's all taken apart and you're doing 3/4 of the work already, go the extra 25% and make it all new while you can so you don't have to do it all over 10k down the road.

madhatter_xe Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 88, is it possible for you to email me the old thread on how to do the timing belt change? it was a great post and would help me out quite a bit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't, it went bye-bye. AC ruined it for everybody! That is, after I altered the pics in the thread a bit... *snicker* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
