In Reply to: For all you who have done a water pump on a VE... posted by RosenKen on September 25, 2002 at 23:14:26:
------------- Now comes the hard part a. I did not have to take any motor mounts off. b. Push the engine over using a second floor jack c. I wedged the jack under the oil pan along with a 2x12 piece of wood. d. I cranked the jack a few turns until I was able to finally slide the water pump up and out. Now, Remove the water pump from the top. You will have to raise the AC hose (see below) a little to get it out. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BEND THE HOSE !!! Priced the hose at Courtesy, $144.00 !! : I'm planning ahead here... when I actually do replace my knock sensor, I am planning on doing a few things, one of which might include replacing the water pump. I was wondering, what is the big problem in getting the old one out? Where does it hit? Since I will have the intake manifolds off, will that make a difference? I am assuming you brought it out of the top of the engine bay.
I don't remember where I got these directions from but I give credit to sxwk12 (Sidney). I had them saved on my hard drive. I cut straight to the chase to try to answer your question. I hope it helps any.
