Re: Need to change 2001 Caravan SE Water Pump

Just make sure you have a prybar of some sort to slightly pry engine away from the passenger side of the body to gain enough clearance to pull the pump/pulley assembly out together.

This is much more important when putting the new one in because if you let pressure off before its in place, the plastic impeller of the new pump will get wedged between the timing cover and body, and may crack, and that will ruin your day once you think you've got the job done and it overheats from no flow.
