How do you install a new water pump pulley?

Step 1: Install the new pulley onto the water pump shaft. Screw in the mounting bolts and hand tighten them.

If you do not have any specs, you can torque the bolts to 20 foot pounds and then an additional 1/8 turn.

How is a pulley removed from a pump?

Tighten the removal tool slowly. Some removal tools require a ratchet drive socket to turn the screw, while others can be turned by hand.
