HELP on removeing water pump off water bypass tube... and other things 200 '86

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave Pell on  Sat Nov 3 12:07 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I knew something would happen to the waterpump soon.. but the THREE mechanics in the last three monthes all said my waterpump is fine... even if the fan hub rubs the timing mark flange and timing change cover.

Ironically while at the parts store getting oil and filter for my First oil change (3000plus miles on this third hand rig) after quizically noting the higher than usual temps upon getting the parts store.. there's a big puddle of coolant under car.

Actually the water pump maybe still okay. But obviously the gasket going up to the head is severely blown-out.

I can only get an off-brand "after market" pump on the weekend. I may just get the gasket ... but the old pump although turning without resistance seems shorter (causing the rubbing of said parts above. ....)

questions: waterbypass pipe removal_ use wood block and tap the water pump off it??? twist it with pipe wrench??? (dangerous to tube)... etc???

also ?should new waterpump be stiff in turning (as the one I bought

a couple of monthes ago and returned as the mechanics said I didn't need it!!!_)???

I know this is easy task for many of you but would like assistance. thanks
