110 Afn Water Pump Change

[Tonyk]

Hi can any one help I have searched the forum but can't seem to find out how to remove the last nut on the water pump/bracket. Thought I'd replace it as I am doing the cambelt & tensioners but now I'm wishing I hadn't !

Hi Shabazmo

I managed to get round this by replacing the front half of the waterpump only. The old waterpump had a slight leak at the bearing and a plastic impeller so i am glad i replaced it . However, having completed the job, I realized that the last nut is not as inaccessable as you might think - there is a gap in the bracket that you can put socket and extension down - what a fool ! oh well the job is done now and its always good to get the car started up again knowing you put the belt back right! - Just the inlet manifold to take off & clean next , got to be an easier job than timing belt and waterpump !
