How do I?

[etc1006]

Get the whole water pump off? I have the "front" of it off... I know I have to get the rest of it off to do the o-rings and the small gasket. I don't have internet just yet, I'm at the library after work today... The Chilton doesn't really help (go figure). I know search is my friend, but they limit time on the computers here... I'm going to look around a little before my time is up on the computer here... I'll try to check back tomorrow. TIA!

Pull it off the tube...but be very carefull putting it back on.Make sure your O rings go in without being pinched.Put alot off grease around the O ring when you push it back on ...and again make sure you dont pinch the O ring

Well, from what I have been able to gather, I need to still remove the timing belt and the rear belt tins also to get the whole thing out? Correct? At least thats what I gather from SHOPP site....

Well, finally done. I found out that, yes, I had to take off the cam sprockets and all... I did hit one snag, the damn screws on the CPS... The heads on those buggers stripped right out. I ended up sawing the "tabs" of the CPS so I could cut the metal inserts to grab them and unscrew them. One screw I got lucky and was able to cut a notch in it and use a straight blade driver on it... Replaced with hex heads from Lowes.... Man, I hope I don't have to experience this again for a looong time!
