Hi,
My dads water pump just blew and it's gushing out the pulley seal, without even running. I'm replacing the v-belt as well as it's worn.
I know it's not going be a tough challenge, but could somebody give me the best way to attack the water pump without having to remove a ton of stuff?
Looks like the motor mount needs to be disconnected, release the tensioner for the belt... then what?
I see a bolt that seems to be holding the water pump at the top, but you have to access the bolt through another pulley? is that correct,
Any special tools for this? I see a torx, but can't see underneath everything for other bits and pieces.
Help on what bolts to remove etc, would be nice.
I do all my work on my VWs, but first time going after this GM beast
