Water pump replace

if it is like the 02 impala its under the alternator which has to be removed the radiator tank resevoir, the inlet for the heater hoses which is on the front of the motor also has to be removed to get all psp bolts out power steering pump 2 to 3 hour job DYI

I would say, yes.

It would probably be easiest to remove the whole power steering pump. Sometimes you have to work around things like that when workin on cars

To remove the pulley wheel from the power steering pump you typically have to remove 3 bolts but to get to those 3 bolts you have to use a socket and go through the holes on the pulley itself.

1. NOTE: If the drive belt requires servicing, refer to Section 03-05 .
   
   Remove the drive belt from the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. Remove the oil dipstick tube.
   

1. Remove the power steering pump support (3C511).
   

1. Install Steering Pump Pulley Remover T69L-10300-B on the pulley.
   

1. NOTE: Do not apply pressure on the power steering pump rotor shaft (3B559). Pressure will damage internal thrust areas of the power steering pump (3A674).
   
   While holding the remover tool nut stationary with a wrench, rotate the inner spindle of the remover tool clockwise until the pulley is pulled off the power steering pump rotor shaft.
   

1. Remove the bolts attaching the power steering pump to the A/C compressor mounting bracket (2882).
   

Installation

1. Install the power steering pump on the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Install and tighten attaching bolts to 41-61 Nm (30-45 lb-ft). On 4.0L engine, tighten to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. Position the support on the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Install mounting bolts and tighten to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. NOTE: Fore/aft location of power steering pump pulley on power steering pump rotor shaft is critical. Incorrect belt alignment may cause drive belt squeal or chirp. Make sure pull-off groove on power steering pump pulley is facing front and flush with end of shaft ± 0.254mm (± 0.010 inch).
   
   Install the Steering Pump Pulley Replacer T65P-3A733-C and install the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. Install the drive belt on the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. On the 2.3L I-4, Ranger 3.0L V-6, and 4.0L V-6 engines, position and rotate drive belt on engine. While lifting drive belt tensioner in a counterclockwise direction (clockwise on Ranger 3.0L V-6), slide drive belt under drive belt tensioner and lower drive belt tensioner to drive belt.
   On Aerostar 3.0L V-6 engine, position the belt idler pulley (8678) assembly to give the drive belt the tension specified. Refer to belt tension check in Section 03-05 . Tighten the drive belt tensioner and adjustment bolts to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. Install the power steering pump support, if removed.
   

1. Install the oil dipstick tube.
   

1. Install the pressure hose tube nut and new Teflon® wagner into power steering pump valve outlet fitting (3D654) and tighten to 41-54 Nm (30-40 lb-ft).
   

1. Connect the power steering return hose to the power steering pump, and reposition the clamp.
   

1. Fill the power steering oil reservoir (3A697) with Premium Power Steering Fluid E6AZ-19582-AA or equivalent fluid meeting specification ESW-M2C33-F. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel (3600) from left to right without hitting stops to remove air from the system.
   

1. Check for leaks and recheck the fluid level. Add fluid if necessary to proper level as specified in Section 11-00 .

you have to remove p/s pump need to put socket in hole on p/s pulley to get to bolts to remove pump

there should be holes in power steering pump pulley that when positioned correctly the bole should go through one of those holes, if not then you have to remove the pump

yes

this happened to me about 2 months ago there are 3 or 4 bolts behind the power steering pump and under the coil packs. there are 11 bolts in all that hold your water pump on some are hard to get to so you are most like likly gunna have to jack it up.
