It's messy, but, easy. Drain as much coolant as you can. Before you even loosen the tensioner to take the belt off, break the four bolts on the water pump pulley loose just a hair.

drain coolant from petlock first
then remove 4 bolts holding on the pump wheel - pull radiator shroud if you need more room.
Then remove belt.
then remove bolts that hold in - pump pull it straight out.
I hope you are replacing it with an EMP Stewart water pump - better than OEM. light coat of lube on pump o-ring...
Flollow reische refill and burp procedure!

My daughter and I put a water pump on her 4.6 Couger in 30 min. And then spent 2 hours changing the oil filter. EZ stuff, just don't change the oil.
It was an honor to have
my ASS kicked by you!
Rest In Peace!

Thanks guys for all your help, just one last question....... Where can I get the water pump pulley and water pump from?? I have found lots of water pumps but not sure of which pully I need.

You reuse the old pulley... they do not go bad. There are 2 different water pumps... a short neck and a long neck.Originally Posted by MrHall1

This is the correct (better than OEM) pump. (read: get this one)
