94 villager

[racefan2448]

yes im wondering how hard it is to replace a water pump on my van?i have a repair manual but it dont give much insight on how to fix it.the pulley is loose on it and as far as i can tell it cannot be tightened up any.need some advice on this.

never replaced one on a villager yet. but on most other cars the pulley comes off the pump and reused with the new pump. mines a 95 but should be same. ill look at it and let you know something tonight.

It's a big pain in the @ss! really tight access. Need to remove all belts(except timing belt),crankshaft and water pump pulleys and lower timing chain cover. Not Fun!

If you manage to get to the water pump you might as well change the belt nosense doing all that work twice. I suggest you call a few friends for help physically.
