How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee?

Answer 1

not incredably hard but you need to know what you are doing. lossen the fan shrouad, take the fan out and the fan shrouad ,take the belt of, drain the radiator unless you want fluid every where, take out the bolts after the hose is off. carefully take the water pump off. scrape the old gasket off of the motor and then start reversing the process. put the new gasket on and then the pump ,then the hose, then the belt ,then the fan and the fan shrouad, fill it up with coolant and watch for leaks. o and don't forget to use some kind of water proof silicone on the new water pump seal. good luck.

And don't forget to go to Autozone to get a water pump nut puller, you will need it to get the fan off of the pump and back on the new one. You can then return the puller back to Autozone to get a full refund.

AROUND 150 TO 200.00. NOT THAT EASY TO DO.

Answer 4

I got a brand new American made water pump for my 4.0L for $40, and should take no more than 2 hours to replace it for a skilled mechanic. (2.0 X hourly labor rate, + $40)
