Ok then you will have to replace water pump and pulley. This water pump is kinda difficult unless you have the necessary mechanical skills. You should have a professional do it, but it not the end of this car its just a water pump. That's regular maintenance part. Good Luck contact if you need more help.Ok then you will have to replace water pump and pulley. This water pump is kinda difficult unless you have the necessary mechanical skills.

You'll need a special tool to release the tension on the belt. Once you have that , apply pressure on the bar to move tensioner enough to slide the belt off.
I understand the comment but what is the question...I really need to know what engine size...Is it a front or rear wheel drive...If you dont know which pulley it is you need to take the belt off and spin each pulley to be sure unless it is evident....But I really need more indo........Thanks.......Metalpoet
power steering pump or serpentine belt and you need to find out the cause of the failure. is there power steering fluid anywhere? is the serpentine belt still on the car? need more details on circumstances. but start lookin at the front right hand side by battery for anything ammiss. then post back..
CLICK on the following LINK. It has several Serpentine Belt Diagrams, one which will match your specific engine and options (AC/No AC, Power Steering,..etc.) that you will need.
usally tearing belts is the ac compressor not turning or poorly. your tension could be going bad also alllowing the belt to flex and contact another object. you will need to block your wheels.open the hood. have a freind rev the engine in cycles for you to watch and see if the belt flexes or the ac commperssor is the cause
well first you drain the coolant out at the low point on the radiator, that way it is saved if new. then you take off the right front wheel and remove the plastic access cover from behind the wheel to get to that side of the engine. then you take off the serpentine belt and etc. yes you can do this with the engine still in the car. you may want to consider replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner while you are in that area.
You need to pull the starter out and check the drive gear. If the drive gear is no good you will have to replace the starter. Make sure the cogs on the fly wheel are okay. If the fly wheel is damaged you will have to replace the fly wheel.
