There should be four bolts between the back of the pulley and the water pump holding the pulley on the water pump. You can either try to remove them before you take the water pump off the engine (not recommended), or remove the four (I think) bolts holding the water pump to the engine block, remove the water pump, ten remove the four bolts holding the pulley to the water pump shaft (recommended). Good luck.
depends on if it has a clutch fan or electric... if its electric the no you dont need any special tools but if its a clutch fan then you need a clutch fan removal tool
ok, does the heater hoses that goes to the hearter core on your fire wall get hott, if so heater core is shot or one of the hoses r pluged or the heat selector by your fan or under dash is shot... an if your fan dont run kick it or its seezed, or a fuse.... sorry i dont no wat else to say..
feel the hoses that go into the heater core at the firewall,if both are hot,either a door under the dash is stuck shut or you need to flush your heater core by removing both hoses and flush with water hose
Before you get into this involved job I have a few suggestions. First is the pump leaking causing the system to lose coolant. Grab the fan and try to move it from side to side to see if there is play. Next when was the last time the thermostat was changed out. The thermostat can be stuck in a way as to restrict water flow. Another cause of over heating is a clogged radiator. Older cars can have a slug build up in the radiator core causing a significant cooling lose.
Water pumps on a Crown Vic is located on the front of the engine behind the fan. You should really get a service manual as there are a lot of steps in this job that must be done correctly to avoid future problems.
You start by draining the entire cooling system by opening up the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator. This antifreeze must be disposed of properly by taking it to a repair shop for pick up. Next remove the fan guard followed by disconnecting all the belts. Some people remove the radiator to gain working room. before removing the radiator disconnect the lower hose and the upper hose to the engine. The transmission oil cooling lines are next. Now remove all the bolts holding the radiator in place. As you can see this is not a job for a novas. If you are not mechanically inclined this could be a nightmare of a job.
95 crown keeps overheating; system has been flushed several timesand thermostat replaced
