Water pump replacement

Would like to know what is involve in replacing a water pump on a 1993 geo storm?

You should get a Haynes Manual if you are serious about doing this. To get at the water pump you have to remove your drive belts, idler pulley, a motor mount, crankshaft pulley, the timing belt covers and timing belt. After you replace the water pump you will have to line up the timing marks, install (I suggest a new) timing belt and tension it, put everything else back together and then time the engine.

You don't say if its a SOHC or DOHC but here's a link to give you an idea of what you are in for.

btw, is your water pump leaking? or why are you replacing it?

Here are a couple more sites really into Isuzu/Storm/Asuna

www.isuzone.org and www.stormowners.com

sohc is not an interference so dont be a wimp but if your not confident take it to a local shop adn if the suggest a new timing belt, coolant flush adn thermostat thats cool but just say no to a new oil pump unless there is a viable reason they rarely go bad and rarely leak
