∙ 12y agoBegin by training the water from your 1999 Chevy Tahoe cooling system. Take the water pump belt off. Disconnect the water pump return hose. Unbolt the water pump. Put the new water pump on and reverse the process.
45minutes
Take out the fan cover, then remove fan, then the hoses, then the water pump. you can do everything from the top.
its on a 1997 Nissan 2 wheel drive pickuptruck.
to change the water pump loosen all the pulley bolts, then take the belt off. after you get the pulley comletely off, there will be 5 more bolts. take them off and the water pump will come off. you might have to tap alittle.
No. If the water pump is leaking from anywhere it does not make sense to take it off and not replace the pump. The pump is realativily cheap. Also in a related matter you must remove the fan clutch in this process. The Fan clutch is a common failure in the early 4.2 Inline 6 cyl Vortec engines. If it has not been replaced it would be a good idea to do it at this time. It must be removed to change the water pump and will save you money in the long run. www.trailvoy.com - true enthusiasts helping others!

Take your old water pump out. Take it down to your local parts store Get a new water pump and then put it in.
you have to take the timing belt off to do the water pump.and you also have to do the rear timing cover where the water pump is attach to because theres 3 o ring gasket behind that cover and they are known to leak.
If you have a 3.5 liter motor, take it to an independent shop, I would not recommend it for d-i-y ers.
95 Grand AM V6 water pump is fairly easy. You have to take the serpentine belt off. The water pump pully has 4 bolts in it take them out the pully slides off and there are 4 more bolts that hold the water pump in take those out and the water pump slides out.
Answerwell if it is in a 95 you have to take off the coil pack then the power steering pump then take of the bolts on the water pump
