Nope, remove the belt, you may need to remove the plastic shield if equipped right above and to the rear of the pump. Remove the four bolts for the pulley and remove the pulley. Remove the five or six bolts that hold the pump to the timing chain cover. Take careful note of the orientation of the pump before you remove it. The holes that the bolts go through are not symmetrical and the pump only fits one way. Finally remove the pump. Should take thirty minutes tops with hand tools. Very easy pump to do.

SOURCE: the shifter cable came loose

The end of the cable on the GM is a molded plastic piece. Part of the cable. If the plastic tab has broken off you really only have two choices.

  1. Replace the entire cable, a tough job.
  2. push the plastic end back on the arm of the trans shifter and use two zip ties in a cross patter to tighten it down. I have seen this work if done right for years.
Hope this helps.

How do I remove the water pump from a 03 buick rendevous

If its a 3.4 or 3.1 liter the water pump is right in the front. Remove the serp belt, remove the four bolts that hold the pulley to the pump, remove the five/six bolts that hold the pump to the timing cover housing. remove the pump. Pay close attention to the orientation of the pump. It only goes on one way. Any other way and the bolt holes will not line up.

Clean the mating surface of all the gasket meterial, install the new pump, pulley, serpentine belt. Fill with coolant. Open the bleeder valves on the water pump bypass pipe and/or the t-stat housing if equipped. Close them when steady coolant comes out. Periodically check them to remove any air pocket that may occur while running the engine. Failure to bleed properly will cause the engine to overheat!!!

After is has run for 20 - 30 minutes and the fans have come on and there is no more air burping out of the radiator replace the radiator cap.

My 2002 Buick Rendevous has a hot coolant

Install the new thermostat (make sure it is the right temp). This will allow for your coolant to stay long enough in the radiator to cool down.

If that does not fix it, check radiator cap, belt that turns the water pump and the water pump itself along with its pulley.

There is also the possibility that the coolant temperature sensor is giving off false readings, that the coolant system is clogged or your engine fan is not operating when it should be.
