I am trying to replace the water pump on a 95 tercel 1.5L. Am I correct in thinking I need to remove the timing cover?

Hi ! Allen Clark The fuel pump is located in the tank. You will need Pliers, a Phillips screw driver, a 14m and 13/16 wrench. Remove the back seat. Pry off access cover and you will see the top of the tank. Disconnect the 3 lines that go to the fuel pump. Remove 8 Phillips screws, and carefully pull out fuel pump assembly. Remove and replace strainer and pump. Reverse procedure for installation. NOTE: you will need silicone to reseal access cover.

Do you need to replace an existing pump or is your car currently manual steering? If it is manual steering there will be more than just adding a pump. The actual steering rack is most likely different from a power steering unit so there would be multiple components required to convert. If your pump is faulty, you just need to disconnect the lines, remove the belt then remove the pump and install the new one. While you are doing that I would flush the old fluid out of the rack to increase life span of steering rack.

You have the water pump is broken, so in that case you have to do Complete water pump, timing belt, thermostat as well.

It sounds like a possible belt and/or a fan clutch. If the belt has cracks or is "glazed" (smooth) replace the belt,

The oil pump is located under the black timing cover , however your leak is likely the lower main seal under that cover as well , your oil pump will be on the upper right side , you should replace them both and the timing belt while your there considering the cost of the parts , it is good insurance you wont lose your belt while you still own your car and have to go back in again , it is not hard to do just be patient , also when you loosen off your timing belt tensioner '' to remove the belt ''dont forget to re tension it after you replace it

60,000 miles, water pump not driven by timing belt' replace idler pulley's and not bad idea to replace crank and camshaft seals.

remove the harmonic ballancer

Replace the timing belt
Inspect the water pump for any evidence of seepage at the impeller shaft seal
Change the oil & filter
Flush the auto transmission (if it has one)
Replace the spark plugs
Replace the spark plug wires if they are older than 5 years old
Replace the air filter
Flush the cooling system, and new coolant
This pretty much covers it, some of the above items may have already been done.
Hope this helps; and Thanks for choosing FixYa.
The graciousness of a FixYa rating would be much appreciated.

4 quarts of oil with a new filter (3.79 litres)

Use genuine Toyota "red" coolant. Not a great idea to use anything other than genuine Toyota coolant. The Toyota coolant prolongs the life of the water pump impeller shaft seal. Get it at a Toyota dealer, mix it 50-50 with water.
