Can you give me instructions on changing the water pump? Is it difficult and would it be best to have a professional do it ?

Hello, jack up the passenger side of the van , remove tire, remove plastic splash shield, losen the water pump pulley bolts, but do not remove , remove the drive belt , remove water pump pully bolts all the way, remove water pump housing bolts , then remove water pump and pulley together thru the passenger side wheel well. reverse procedure to reinstall,, fill cooling system, job calls for approx. 2 hrs
If you want to replace the water pump, go to alldatadiy.com and purchase the online repair manual, it is about $25.00, and you get the info the mechanics get, plus recall and technical bulletin info. This will give you a good idea as to the difficulty of the job and any special tools needed.
It costs $26.95 for a whole year subscription. www.alldatadiy.com
Actually the job takes about 30 minutes if the bolts don't break.
I can't get the pump to clear the frame! Do I have too unbolt mounts and let engine down?
