90 tempo water pump belt
Ok, just got the alt. belt to stop sqealing and the muffler to stop falling off (re-welded the hangers) so this other belt on the bottom rear of the engine starts sqealing. WTF, I think it is the water pump but im not sure. Has anybody replaced one of these belts? How hard would it be? It might be the pump dieing so i'll try the belt first. I tried to get under the car to see it but it is cramped down there. Any help would be great.

Re: 90 tempo water pump belt
I had a '91, and the water pump belt was a bitch to replace. I had to take off all the other belts to take it off. It's also got a crappy tensioner design, but it does hold well. Just a pain in the ass considering there is no clearance.

Re: 90 tempo water pump belt
That might cost a lost considering what would have to be done. All you need, if I remember correctly, is a good pry bar to loosen the tensioner, a 8mm wrench for loosening the water pump belt tensioner, a 17 mm wrench for loosening the holding nut on the pump belt tensioner, and a 15mm socket to loosen the bolt holding your alternator on. Could be a 17, also. After that, all you need is a little patience to work the belts on and off. The biggest pain I had was with the auto tensioned belt, as I had to make a square ended pry bar out of an old screwdriver.

Re: 90 tempo water pump belt
ok i think ford purposely made the pulleys so close to the apron so you cant get it off. This is a pain in the ass. So far im working on it today and it took like 15min to get the damn belt off. Now i get to enjoy the stress of puting all 3 belts back on. O yay.
