420a water pump removal and installation

[corleon816]

Ok I have searched the site and even googled for a tech article on the removal of the 420a water pump removal. It's obvious I have to pull the motor just to do this, but I am praying there is another way beings I have pulled my motor twice in the last four months. If I have to pull it I will or I will spend the money to have it done for me. I am mechanically inclined and am perfectly capable of completing this job. I just would like more insight on what I need to do (tips and tricks) to make this job go easier and smoothly. Any and all advice and tips greatly appreciated. Oh my car info is 99 eclipse RS 420a if this helps most the info I found was for the 4G. I will be replacing the timing belt beings it has to come off and setting the timing I can handle.

You do not need to pull the engine out to replace the Timming belt nor to replace the water pump.

Thank you that link was helpful. And I am very happy to know I don't have to pull the motor again... what a relief. I think I will be doing this myself since I don't have to pull motor. I was getting angry with the idea of pulling the motor again.

This is awesome! I might have to replace my water pump due to my over heating problem that i can't figure out.
