Automobile water pumps are usually bolted to the engine block. ---- some cars have the pump bolted to the timing cover, Eg. Ford 302
The torque of a water pump bolt can be requested from the manufacturer. The Chevy Trailblazer has a high torque for the water pump bolt.
what is the part called where the water pump is connected to on a 1996 mercury grand marquis -------------------------- That would be the engine
Remove the power steering pump. I just did a water pump. If you remove the top PS pump bolt and loosten the lower PS pump bolt about 1/2 way you can push the pump over with one hand while removing the water pump bolt.
which bolt
After removing the pump, if part of the bolt is sticking out, you may be able to grab it with vice grip pliers. Using a penetrating oil is also a good idea. If you cant grab the bolt, you may try a device called an e-z out. You will have to drill a hole in the bolt of the proper size then insert the e-z out in the hole and turn it with a wrench to remove the bolt. as a last resort the bolt can be drilled out then new threads inserted in the engine by a device known as a helicoil. This may have to be done at a garage by a mechanic.
the water pump on the 4.3L vortec is easy. there are four bolt holding the water pump in place. these bolt hold your fan clutch also. the water pump and fan system.are built as one. remove these bolts and you are ready to change your water pump.
The steering pump is attached with 2 bolts. If you take the top bolt out and loosen the bottom bolt until it's almost completely out, you can move the pump/pulley enough to snake that bottom left water pump bolt out.
get a easy out from the part store.. you will also need a GOOD drill
It could be either, by far most are 3 bolt.
The 1999 to 2001 Dodge ram 1500 pickup truck water pump bolt pattern consists of two bolts on each side of the water pump. A picture of the bolt pattern can be obtained from most auto-parts stores.
The part you want is called the water outlet.
On my 91 you HAVE to remove the engine mount that covers the water pump.
