I have a 1997 Rodeo so I'm not sure it is the same, but if your waterpump is located under the timing belt cover like mine is and is driven by the timing belt ...

1) Remove the upper fan shroud
2) Remove the (4) nuts then the cooling fan assembly
3) Remove the power steering drive belt
4) Remove the air conditioning compressor drive belt
5) Remove the generator drive belt
6) Remove the fan pulley assembly
7) Remove the crankshaft pulley
8) Remove the oil cooler hose
9) Remove the timing belt cover
10) Remove the timing belt pusher
11) Mark where the timing belt is currently seated in the cam and crankshaft gears (be real sure you know what you are doing here!!!)
12) Remove the timing belt
13) Drain the radiator
14) Remove the waterpump

Testimonial: "I am going to try these steps, then I will leave my feedback tomorrow Thanks Tina."

    If you send me your email, I will be more than happy to discuss additional tips. I have changed the belt on my Rodeo twice now, and once on my son's Rodeo. The task does feel difficult at first, but really isn't that bad.

I've replaced the water pump,thermostat, and hydraulic fan that was barely moving on Lincoln ls 3.0 v6 but still continues to overheat.Removed tstat just to get home.Why would it still be overheating?

There are usually only three major reasons why cars overheat. The first is a water flow issue. You have make attempts in that area with the water pump and the thermostat. The second is an air flow issue. You addressed that with the fan. The third is an engine malfunction issue, such as a blown head gasket or worse.

There are still a few things you can check..first, the radiator itself could be clogged up, restricting water flow. Second, verify that there is nothing restricting airflow through the radiator such as dirt, bugs, debris, etc. Also, ensure that any fan shroud that should be in place is there and properly installed. These can cause lack of air flow through the radiator. Last, have the engine checked for a blown head gasket.

Temp on raidator registers high but will cool down

First off you cannot use plain water in a radiator. It has to be 50/50 water and antifreeze. Second check the thermostat and make sure that it is not stuck. Third check the radiator for internal deposits and external air blockage. Third check the water pump

This is the third time in two years that I've had to replace my water pump on my 2002 Mazda Protege 5. This first replacement was a refurb. The second was new. Just got a third new one. After the...

I have had ZERO good luck with "rebuilt" water pumps for ANY cars BUT have had a bad NEW one also. Are you buying genuine MAZDA parts or third party from an Auto Parts Store. I hope you got one with a lifetime guarantee... Good Luck....

Everytime i turn on the aircondition the temperature gage getting higher, what's wrong with that?

Hi. Generally, engine temperature will change when you turn on the AC since there are friction added to the engine. If your car goes to overheat then the issue would be the cooling system of the car. You may check these part for your cooling system. First is check the reserve if water/coolant ran out. If liquid rans out to the reserve then the problem could be the hose's or the radiator. Check for holes and possible cuts. Second is cehck the radiator thermostat. It might not functioning well. Third is the water pump, pump might not be working in good condition.

All the best!

I need to change the water pump. also if the water pump is leaking will this stop the engine from starting

no, leaking water pump just means it is time to replace your pump. Not continue driving until you get around to it. replace it now. If it is not starting something esle is wrong. Unless you've over-heated the engine.
