is there a writeup on how this is done? i am a nissan guy, im attempting to resolve a problem on my friends 94 del sol, i know the waterpump has to be internal but what is the procedure in replacing it?

 

Remove accessory belts.

Pull crank pulley.

Pull the timing belt covers.

Remove timing belt.

Remove water pump.

Replace water pump (gentle on the screws, only like ~12 lb-ft of torque required.)

Replace and retension timing belt.

Replace covers.

Attach crank pulley and belts.

 

thanks but one question, how do i get the crank off? its an auto how do i brace it so it wont move?

 

Either use the specialized tool to hold the pulley or use an impact.



Third best would be tying off one of the accessory belts and using it to hold the pulley... this might work but will definately destroy the belt.
