Hello,

I just got done changing the water pump pulley and drive belt. I had to undo the four upper bolts for the engine mounting, to lower that end of the engine enough to reach the 3 bolts on the pulley.

Now I find that my Haynes manual has nothing on the correct torque settings. Does anyone know the torque? Thanks!

Also, the pulley was very tricky. The water pump itself looks like a nightmare! Glad it was just the pulley (for now).

I spent some time messing with a pry bar to release the belt tensioner, before realizing that it's much easier if you have a 30mm wrench, and do it from above. The Pelican Parts write-up neglected to mention this.

see if that helps. I just swapped my lower engine mount out for a BSH unit, really nice.

 

That's great, thank you!
