92LegacyDriver Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm an amateur do-it-yourselfer w/ limited engine work experience. My understanding of the basics is adequate. Here's the problem: Water Pump on '92 legacy is knocking (needs replacement). Looking at my manual, I understand the process of changing the part and finishing the gaskets, but accessing the water pump looks a bit tricky on this model. Is accessing the water pump on the '92 model out of an amateur's league? If not, what are some of the keys steps to doing this right. Again, the change of the water pump + gaskets are not the issue, accessing them is. This might be my first water pump change on a car. Thanks for the help, gentlemen.

Snowman Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm going to embark on this procedure in the near future, and it looks like it shouldn't be a huge deal. You have to take off the crank pulley, the timing belt covers, and the timing belt to get to the water pump. It really doesn't look that hard, and would be a great learning experience.

Qman Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 If you do not have a vice that opens to at least 6-7" then you will not be able to collapse the tensioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
