How do you take off a 1989 Chevrolet celebrity water-pump?

Answer 1

Since I don't know which engine you have I will list them all. I know some of these are for other vehicles in the manual but you will know which one is yours.

1. Partially drain the engine coolant form the vehicle

2. Remove the serpentine dirve belt form the vehicle

3. Loosen and position the alternator to one side

6. Clean the gasket areas thoroughly

1. Disconnect battery negative cable

2. Drain cooling system and remove heater hose

3. Remove the pump pulley

4. When replacing the water pump, the timing cover must be clamped to the cylinder block prior to removing the water pump bolts. Use special tool J29176 or its equivalent
