Sirs:
Water pump on my 1996 Nissan Maxima is leaking BAD.. This is my work car and I need it desperately. Got most everything apart down to releasing the tension on the timing chain... NO LUCK... I can't get enough slack on the timing chain to pull the water pump out... I see internet post stating DO NOT AT ANY COST remove timing chain tensioner or u will be taking the whole engine apart to get parts out of the pan and TC cover.... The local deler dealer wants $400 for labor only ... is the dealer the best option....Please advise
Thanks

All you need to do is just back up on the chain and it will give you the space you need to remove thw water pump you may all so need to first see is you have water in your oil if not then it not you pump can you tell what color your oil is ?

Don't know wherw the water pump is locate? Need a diagram.
I just put my 1996 in shop for replacement of water pump. He said it didn't have a timing chain. Said they had 2 motors at that time and mine is the better. Is $532. a fair price to change the water pump? I am a widow and it is only car I have. Need some pro advice. Thanks, Sandie
