What size are the bolts to remove the brake drums on a 1990 Mazda b-2200 truck?
Well to the best of my knowledge bolts are not used to hold the rear drums onto the hub.The drums will be held on with normally Phillips head screws that are flat head style.You should spray some liquid wrench or bp blaster on them let sit for a few minutes before you try to remove them.I use a large handle Phillips screw driver with a pair of channel locks gripped onto the handle to give you leverage so that you do not strip the head of the screw.Once you remove the two screws you will then install the two screws into the threaded holes on the drum about 180* and run those into the drum equally.This pushes the drum off the hub and you may have to tap the drum with a hammer and use a flat head screw driver to pry the drum away from the backing plate.Make sure you have the parking brake released!And do one side at a time so,you install the new parts correctly and you will have the opposing side for reference if you are no fluent with this set up.

Where is the water pump on a 2003 Mazda Protege 5?
Looking in front of you car with the hood open..
towards the left side you'll see the belts and pulleys. Looking down the highest will be the power steering, then the water pump and then the AC compressor.
The water pump is closer to the engine with 4 bolts on the side of the pulley and the belt that it has runs from that to the alternator and back to the engine.
