water pump replacement??

when replacing the waterpump...what all has to come off that deals with the timing belt?

Strange you should ask - I'm doing one right now on a '95. If it's the same as a 2g dsm: all belts, water pump pulley, A/C belt adjuster pulley/bracket, the alt. arm, harmonic balancer pulley, left engine mount, timing covers, timing belt tensioner (it covers a water pump bolt), timing belt.

It's also a good idea to replace at the same time the timing belt and it's 2 idler pulleys, and balancer shaft belt and it's idler pulley.

funny u said that... i just replaced the timing belt...twice. first time i replaced it and the balance shaft belt. well to say the least the balance shaft belt broke and i had to replace the timing belt again. i said #### the balance shaft belt and just left the balance shafts sitting there. well, now that i just replaced the timing belt, my waterpump has started to leak and make funny noises. DAMN.
