GoldDiggerRoo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Just wondering if there is any way I can tell what water pump (hub height) I need for my GL10 Wagon without pulling it apart. I need to order one tonight so I can drive the car tomorrow evening. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I cant tell you offhand which one, but the info IS here somewhere.. try using the term "deck height" as that is the technical name for the parameter you are talking about.... ones like, just under 100 mm and ones like 110, right? But i cannot remember which was which.. Sorry for the semi-worthless reply, but i know its a common thing, and it DID come up within the last month or 8 weeks... no guarantees a search will work, but its worth a shot.

GoldDiggerRoo Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well, I went ahead and tore it apart, almost through, do I need to pull the timing belt covers to get to the bottom two bolts on the water pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 i am pretty sure you do. My car is non turbo, but I had to take them off for the water pump.. and I can't believe your engine would be any different. See sonicfrog's recent thread on the subject of timing belt covers or indeed, most of this forum's history. I have mine left off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 yes you do have to remove the timing belt covers to change the water pump http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24933&highlight=different+waterpumps this should help you figure out which pump you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 IIRC, the EA82 waterpumps that have 4 bolts that hold the pulley to the waterpump and another 4 studs that are permenant on the pulley that hold the clutch fan on, are the 105mm. The waterpumps that have studs in the pump that the pulley "floats" on and the clutch fan goes onto, is the 110mm... or I have them backwards...

Yeah I think you have the backwards, mine was the 105 and had studs in the pump; I was shocked that the new one came with new studs.....found that out after spending 15min trying to take the old ones out, stupid should check the box!

Doesn't hurt to have spares though:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I have a 87 GL10 turbo 4wd wagon and I use the smaller of the two. I know cause the store sold me the wrong one I put it on and droped the motor in and has a bit of a suprise when I went to put my belts on.
