I am having problems getting the pulley out and replaced. Don't have much room in there. Is there an easy way? Thank you

Hi,

Are you accessing it from under the hood or have you tried getting to it through the fender? Oftentimes, I remove the right front wheel and plastic inner fender which opens things up for me.

I tried to find directions in the manual just for the water pump pulley, and the only thing that is offered is for water pump removal. Is there an issue just with the pulley? I ask because that is odd.

Regardless, let me know if that helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe

Got the pulley off and all is good. It had snapped when taking the serpentine belt off. Originally, changing the power steering
pump. Thank you for all the help.
