not the exact video I needed but I learned a lot! This was very helpful man, thank you for putting the time into making this video. I know making a video while working on a project only makes the project take even more time
To get the fan off try leaving your belt on and the tranny in gear. If your tension idler is working properly it shouldn't be a problem getting it loose. One thing he doesn't mention is that it's a right hand thread.
I’m sorry but hearing your frustration made me feel so much better. I gave up after about an hour of not being able to get the damn bolts in my water pump, any tips at all? I still haven’t done it.
Honestly I don’t. It really took me about an hour to get it done. It was really hard to lined up. Sounds silly but maybe take a break and try again later with a fresh approach. Other than that I would say maybe check the bolts threads and see if they are good still. Also double check that the water pump is correct and lining up properly. I ended up starting one and then getting lucky with the others. Let me know if that helps at all.
