Important: you have to remove the pump pulley from the old pump and install it securely on the new pump. Chaeck that the new pump copmes with the large "J" figure plastic gasket included. While it is possible to form a gasket with silicone sealer, it is better and easier to put a smaller quantity of silicone sealer on both sides of the plastic gasket to ensure no leaks result. It took me about 4 hours to replace the pump, but I also cleaned the radiator and changed the hoses, flushing the system. Amclaussen.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1997 Chevy Astro?
First you take the air induction vent off from over the radiator shroud. It just pops off from the shroud. Next you look down beside the radiator and you will see bolts that you have to take loose. The radiator shroud is a 2 piece shroud. Once you get the top shroud out you can take the idler pulley loose and take the serpentine belt loose and take the fan blade off. You will be surprised with the room in there once you get that out of the way. I changed mine in about an hour. While you have all that out checked your idler pulley tension because after i replaced the water pump the idler pulley went bad and i had to replaced the serpentine belt again.

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.
How do you change the water pump on a 1994 Dodge Intrepid with 3.5L engine?
On a 3.5L engine first disconnect the negative battery cable. (2) Loosen the pulleys and remove V-belt & A/C belt..note: the pulley located on timing cover must be removed. It has three bolts which are of different sizes, make sure you don't mix these bolts up. (3) Remove Harmonic balancer with removal kit. (4) Remove timing belt cover. You will see that the water pump is pulled by the timing belt. BE VERY CAREFUL YOU DO NOT TAKE THE ENGINE OUT OF TIME. If you mistakenly rotate a sprocket, you must realign the timing marks to prevent rod damage. (5) Loosen tensioner and remove timing belt. (6) Remove water pump. Clean surface of block face and disgard old o-ring. (7) Install new pump & o-ring...note: it is a good idea to replace timing belt as they should be changed every 100 thousand miles. (8) Install new thermostat. (9) Reinstall everything the way you took it apart. (10) Refill coolant.

How do you change a water pump on a 2004 Chevy truck?
here's how i did my 2003 6.0L. yours should be the same.
drain your radiator at least 1/2 way and catch the coolant. remove fan shrouding while radiator is draining. remove serpentine belt. remove hoses attached to water pump. unbolt water pump with fan attached and remove. be careful not to damage the back side of the radiator.
place pump/fan assembly on a bench. use a strap wrench on the pulley and a big wrench on the fan nut. remove fan from pump--it is left hand threaded and isn't on there very tight.
you will have to transfer the thermostat and its housing to the new water pump. use a scraper and/or scouring pad to clean the pump mating surface on the block. reinstall fan onto new pump--you don't have to tighten it that much. reinstall water pump--again be mindful of the backside of the radiator. torque to spec. reattach hoses.
refill radiator and start motor. check for leaks while you make sure that there is no air trapped in the cooling system. once you are sure there are no leaks reinstall fan shrouding.
as a side note: while you are at it you may as well flush your entire cooling system. i suggest doing that before you actually change the water pump as you will be flushing and draining the system anyway. once its cleaned out (using the old water pump) you can put the new one in and install new coolant.
Is it possible when you have radiator fluid leaking that the timing is bad?
If the timing were off, it would be possible to overheat an engine, and have the overflow throwing water at you. But, in newer cars, this is usally not the case. You might have a bad hose somewhere-radiator, or heater hoses. And/or, the thermostat could be bad. NOPE
Firstly, there are a few meanings for the word ballast, and they are used in different contexts.
In an electrical context:
Electrically, It adds resistance to limit the current. In a fluorescent light fitting, the ballast adds resistance. Once the lamp conducts, it presents a very low resistance to the circuit and would draw too much current. The ballast coil also has reactance and provides a back emf pulse, to enable the lamp to fire (conduct) when it is interrupted by the starter.
In an a shipping context:
Ballast is used in ships and submarines (both new and old) to provide stability to the vessel within the water. Normally the trim of a boat in the water will differ whether it carrying a cargo or not, if the ship is lighter and higher in the water it is more inclined to roll from side to side in heavy weather. In order to prevent this ballast tanks are used in ships, these are then filled with seawater in to make the ship heavier (lower) in the water and less prone to tilting. Before the ship takes on cargo the tanks are pumped out making the boat "ride" higher in the water. Earlier wooden vessels also used ballast, but would use stones, rock or bricks for this purpose.
In submarines, ballast tanks are flooded with water or purged using compressed air in order to maintain neutral buoyancy, or to allow the submarine to ascend or descend.
In hydraulics/ irrigation terms:
Ballast tanks (sometimes called buffer tanks) are used in irrigation and plumbing systems to provide a buffer between supply and demand systems. A simple example of this is the water tank of your toilet. The system, when flushing requires a fairly substantial amount of water, the mains water supply of a typical house does not have this volume all at once, so the water is stored in a small ballast tank. When you press the flusher a larger volume of water that can normally be supplied by the house water supply is release - giving you a clean bowl.
