4. Remove the alternator and bracket.
5. Unscrew the water pump pulley mounting bolts and then pull off the pulley.
6. Unfasten the mounting bolts, then remove the water pump.
7. Using a putty knife, clean the gasket mounting surfaces.

I see the alternator still on top. Have you tried actually removing the alternator and its bracket?



Yes, the alternator is removed; just laying in place; thanks for the tip on Autozone-Chilton's; I'll give it a twirl. I'll see what happens...I'll give it a twirl. Actually have most of today off.

Default Got it, Shamimce

Thanks for the response; I did take out the power steering pump to get at the bottom left bolt holding the tensioner in place; the water pump pulled straight out; This is the first 4-cylinder I've ever worked on and I'm just not accustomed to working in such a tight space; there's such little "wiggle room" between parts. But its done--without the motor mount removal route.

I have connected the jpeg along with my personal remaining hands showing a few sights: my personal remaining pinkie is actually directed towards the back again aspect associated with my personal aged drinking water pump motor; my personal correct catalog hand is actually directed to some engine attach, that was initially advised through my personal Haynes Restore Guide is actually what you want within raising the actual motor to have an in . or even two to get rid of water pump motor as well as set up the brand new 1.
