Loyale93v Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 HELP!! Got a question about my 93 Loyale. The water pump houseing is wobbling so bad that the cooling fan that is attatched is hitting the radiator! How do I fix that? Does the whole w-pump need replacement? I don't get what is holding it on...? THANKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 sounds like the water pump shaft is wacked. either that, or you have the wrong water pump and the fan was forced onto it. Is the problem in the pulley also, or just the fan. loose studs or bolts? non turbo water pumps will have studs with nuts on them that ho through the pulley. turbo water pump pulley bolts to the pump, and the studs are on the pullety itself. which do you have? there is a flat spot on the fan shaft you caqn hold with a 7/8 or 22 mm wrench to hold the thing still to turn the 10mm nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yep - replace the pump. The bearings went out and are probably not seated in the housing anymore. You'll have to remove the timing belts and replace the pump. Don't forget to replace the heater core bypass hose when you do it. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a w-pump for $45. Inside the box there is 4 inch long studs, an O-ring, and the gasket. The O-ring goes where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
