Im replacing the water pump on my cougar but i ran into a snag. I got the pump unbolted but to take it off, i need to unbolt a bracket that goes behind the power steering pump pulley. I cant figure out how to get that pulley off to take off the bracket. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
remove radiator,remove fan blade,you may have to move the a/c condenser and or compressor. and move the alternator out of the way. scrape gasket off engine block. glue new gasket to water pump and install in reverse. be sure not to over tighten the bolts.
go okorder Hope that helps, if not, go get you a chilton's or hayne's manual - they come in handy for lots of things.
it would have helped if you had given an engine size of the car the procedure is different for a v-8,and a v-6 engine,i cant answer this because i don't know an engine size,,good luck,i suggest you get a good repair manual its more informative ,and gives real good details also.
