1991 chevy 1500 water pump removal




By TransAm80boy on Sep 04, 2008

" "
im in the process of replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets on a chevy 1500. there is a bracket that attaches to the manifold, rear of the alternator and the back of the water pump. the only way (that i can see) to remove the bracket it to remove the water pump.
The source of fustration at the moment it the bolt on the fron of the water pump pullie that needs to be taken out so that the pillie can be taken off to get at the bolts to remove that water pump (just a little confusing eh?)

any way, the answer i want to get at is if the water pump pullie os crimped or pressed onto the bolt/shaft in the center, because as many diffrient ways i try to loosen the bolt (impact gun, allen key, tapping it to losen rust) it just seels to strip the bolt further (the bolt in question is a 3/8' allen socket)

hepl is very much apricaited)

I'm not so certain you need to take that pulley off to get the water pump off. All the bolts should be accessible. Aren't there holes in the pulley that line up with any hidden bolts in behind? GM is well known for doing that. Rotate the pulley until you can sneak a socket through the pulley hole and get onto the bolts you need. (Unless this is a different design).
