I ordered my manaul for my 95sc400 but havent recieved it yet. Could anyone help me with a few torque specs for reinstallation of my water pump? May thanks!

 

Do the timing belts need to be removed to get the water pump off? Im running blind here since my manual hasnt shown up yet....... any advice or help someone can give me regarding water pump replacement? thanks

 

Timing belt drives the water pump's pulley, so, yes, you do need to "de-tension" that belt. Why wouldn't you want to remove and replace the t-belt?

 

The belt was replaced about 10k ago and it looks new still. can the tensioner be adjusted after reinstall or do i need to load it first?

 

got the water pump replaced this weekend-wasnt too bad! Nothing like hearing the ole car start right up and run without the sweet smell of antifeeze and large puddles under the car. : )
