How do you replace the water pump on a 1994 Jeep Wrangler?

Answer 1

The water pump is behind the cover that the serpentine belt runs under(?) to make with the spinning of the fan. Remove the plastic fan cover, remove the fan blade, the cover slips right off and the water pump is right there. The studs that hold the fan blade in place are attached to the water pump.

I seem to remember having to remove the Power Steering pump and loosening the alternator to get the belt off.

Also most likely a new water pump will not come with the studs to mount the fan. If it is anything like mine, the studs will not come off the old one easily, if at all. Your best bet will be to pick up a new set of studs at the same time, if for no other reason then to save a trip to the store when you have half your engine lying around outside the vehicle.

Hey Andrew==It does take a certain machanical ability and tools but is not hard. When starting out like this, it is best to get s shop manual on your car to help you identify parts etc. GoodluckJoe
