How do you replace the water pump on a 1998 Honda Passport?

Answer 1

AnswerCurrently going through this little adventure myself. It sounds a whole lot more complicated that it really is. If you know what is what then it's just a matter of time because there is alot of things you need to unbolt. I do suggest some ziplock bags and a sharpie to keep up with all the bolts that you are removing:

Remove Radiator Hoses/ Remove Fan Belt/ Remove Fan Shroud and the Fan Itself (I removed them at the same time)/ Take an Allen Wrench and remove the Fan Belt Tentioner Pulley/ Using a Screw Driver and a Socket Wrench Remove the Power Steering Pump Pulley/ Here's the worst part- Get yourself a 24mm Socket Wrench and Remove the Camshaft Pulley/ Remove the Bolts to the Timing Belt Covers/ Loosen and Remove Timing Belt Oooo!!!! Make sure you get an engine marker and mark the position of all pulleys in regard to the belt so you don't mess up the timing!!/ You may have to remove one of the timing belt tentioner pulleys to get to the water pump itself, but once you get to it, you sir have been VICTORIOUS! Then the fun of putting the puzzle back together may begin. Good Luck.
