Needs a new timing belt and water pump i need to

This is found on the autozone.com website.

2.5L Engine
See Figures 3 through 7

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Place a large drain pan under the radiator drain plug. Drain and properly contain the engine coolant.

This procedure requires removing the engine timing belt and the auto tensioner. To help assure proper alignment at assembly, it may be helpful to set the engine at TDC on No. 1 compression stroke. This should align all timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket and both camshaft sprockets.

1. Remove the accessory drive belts and crankshaft damper.
2. Remove the right engine mount. This requires safely supporting the engine with a floor jack and wood block so the mount can be removed.
3. Remove the timing belt covers.
4. Remove the timing belt and tensioner.

1. Remove the water pump mounting bolts.
2. Separate the water pump from the water inlet pipe and remove the pump.

To install:

1. Thoroughly clean all sealing surfaces. Inspect the pump for damage or cracks, signs of coolant leakage at the vent, and excessive looseness or rough turning bearings. Any problems require a new pump.
2. Install a new O-ring on the water inlet pipe. Wet the O-ring with water to make installation easier. DO NOT use oil or grease on the O-ring.
3. Install a new gasket on the water pump and fit the pump inlet opening over the water pipe. Press the assembly together to force the pipe into the water pump.
4. Install the water pump-to-engine bolts and tighten to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
5. Install the timing belt and timing belt tensioner. Set the timing belt tension.
6. Install the timing belt covers. Install the right engine mount. Remove the floor jack and engine block from underneath the engine.
7. Install the crankshaft damper.
8. Install the accessory drive belts and set to the proper tension.
9. Connect the negative battery cable.
10. Fill and bleed the engine cooling system.
11. Start the engine and verify proper operation, with no leaks

I don't see the question. But you'll need a socket set, water pump, gasket, sealant. Also new timing belt. If it's in the way. I would recommend letting an expert do the timing belt change.

The following steps need to be taken to remove the pump.

1. Remove the ribbed belt. Compress the tensioner and remove the belt. Remove the ribbed belt tensioner.

2. Remove the upper timing belt cover.

3. Align your timing belt marks. The following pictures are for the cam timing mark, the flywheel timing mark for an automatic, flywheel timing for a manual and the marks on the harmonic balancer.

4. loosen the timing belt. There is a 13mm head nut that keeps the tensioner in place. Loosen this nut and turn the tensioner clockwise to get come slack in the belt. You are going to need a tool to get tension back on the belt. I use the tool pictured (picture of how to tension the belt) but know of people using snap ring pliers to rotate the tensioner.

5. Slip the timing belt off of the cam drive sprocket and off of the water pump.

6. Remove the water pump retaining bolts pictured and remove the water pump. The pump can often be stuck in place. A screwdriver carefully used can help in getting the pump

7. Moisten the o-ring with coolant before installing the new pump. Install the new pump.

8. Install the belt and tension as shown in the picture attached above. Turn the engine over by hand through a full revolution of the cam gear. Re-check the timing marks. The marks will often be off, don't be discouraged by this, it happens to everyone. If the marks are off loosen the belt and slip it the amount of teeth needed to align the marks.

9. Install the items taken off during the removal of the pump, fill the system with coolant and start the engine. The system will pretty much bleed itself out as it reaches operating temperature.

buy new pump and then proceed to take off front of engine as that is where pump is located will be right behind fan blade

1.Most likely alternator belt is not tight enough or need new one.2. A/C-Power steering belt is loose or need new one. 3. Bearing in A/C-Power Steering Tensioner is going bad. 4. Not the water pump unless you are loosing water all the time. Timing belt runs the water pump & you need to tear down the engine. If so ,you would need to replace the timingbelt,tensioners, and maybe the hydraulic tensioner. NOT FOR $300, more like 5-600. Get yourself a Haynes Manual for 95-99 Eclipse at AUTOZONE,Advanced Auto, or Pep Boys and read up on this.

These engines are identified as an interference engine and on no account must the crank shaft and cam shaft be moved with the timing belt removed. You no not need to remove the water pump. You need to remove the water pump pulley only (not the water pump). I trust this helps.

hi did the water pump callapse and cause the car to stop or was it running and you decided to change the the pump and before you took the belt off did you line the timming marks up just let me know and lets see if we can get it going for you yates210456

Hi....
On your 2004 Santa Fe.
The water pump is not driven by the Timing belt.
Is not stricttly nessesary to replace togheter. they are individual.
But I recomend replace the timing belt when you replace the water pump. Because for get axces to the water pump,
you need to remove all the Timing covers.
Is just a few more minutes to remove the Timing belt.
Inspect the Engine seals, cam and crank Replace if need.
My PC show me a 2.4L 4cyl. for 2004 santa fe.

Ok.. The labor for that job Removing the Timing belt and water Pump ...IS:
2.8 hours. just the water pump 2.4 hours.

OK.. I hope this help on your question...
Thank you for use fixya..

If you have the NorthStar 4.6L engine this is going to be the easiest water pump you ever done and even if you have not. Auto Zone will be able to help they have a special tool for removing and replacing it. I would suggest replacing the hoses when you do this also. When you get the pump you will also need a O ring for the pump cover, and a new thermostat. get the proper antifreeze also.
Auto Zone should also have some instructions with pic's to help you.. email me if you have any questions.......
