TB360 said:You will need to remove the alternator to gain access to the water pump or do it from the side fender by removing you wheel.
meerschm said:you do not have to change fan clutch with water pump. you have to remove the fan clutch to get the water pump out, but if it works, no need to replace it.
if you want to change the thermostat while you have the coolant system opened, removing the generator makes it much easier.
you may want to change the thermostat and radiator cap at this time.
my service manual says water pump mounting bolts are 10 n-m (89 inch pounds) (like the transmission pan bolts)
and the pulley to the pump bolts 25 n-m (18 ft lb)
and I know you will want to know that the fan clutch to water pump hub gets 56n-m (41 ft-lb)

IllogicTC said:If the center of the nut to the hole on the end of the wrench is exactly 1 foot, you can hang 41 pounds of weight off the hole. It's a crazy idea, but the only one I can think of off-hand without looking into specialty tools.
