I'm ok at working on cars i was wondering if i can pull out a water pump in my wife subaru forester or is it to much and do i take it in

You got to remove altenator belt ac belt and tensioner pulley and crank pulley and plastic covers then you will see timming belt take of the tensioner pulley for timming belt remove belt and smoth wheel on drivers side is the water pump see if it feels like tension on it when you turn it if it does then its ok if spins freely with ease then its going bad i know how to time them so make sure you get timming right or you will bend the valves let me know i can time these subarus with my eyes closed lol

Sorry didnt see the bit at the top, depending on how good you are with cars it can be relativley easy its on the front of the engine you may have to move a few things to get to it im not that educated on suburu forresters so im not to sure, but it should jus be a few bolts and a belt you have to remove to get it off, if that helps at all
