Re: 96 2.4L Water Pump Replacement
I tried looking at a Haynes manual at AZ, but it was still sealed. I checked a website with free repair guides, but that said to remove the manifold as well.
I guess some time was wasted loosening manifold nuts in anticipation of removing it. Then we had the engine mount bolts that would not come out even after we pried the engine sideways. I ended up cutting one of the bolts with a hacksaw to get it out. One or maybe both of the other bolts had already been shortened by someone else. We made sure all the bolts were shortened enough so that if I ever need to pull the engine mount again, they'll just fall out without any prying.
The shifter cables and bracket were troublesome to re-install. The one cable broke and we fixed it rather than buying a new one. Now it's coated in lots of RTV (for weather protection), making it a little difficult to grasp and manuever.
Maybe I should have just sealed the weep hole shut. No more leakage, problem solved!!! HA, HA, HA!!!!
