I am selling a 96 eclipse that needs a new water pump. I am willing to sell it for an offer as is, but I would like to fix it and sell it for more, so it is as if I am getting paid for the labor.My question is, is it possible at all to change out a water pump on a 96 eclipse without pulling the engine out? Like through the passenger wheel well access panel or anything?
I've done hundreds of them with the engine in place. If it's a Chrysler 420A powered lump, you'll need a puller for the bottom crank pulley. On second thought, don't fix it, sell it short and when the NEW owner F's it up, it isn't your fault. You don't need that pain.
Ive owned some Mitsubishis... they have an inclination to no longer be the main solid automobiles on earth. I actually have a eagle talon tsi (the swifter yet much less solid kind), and it choose maintenance surprisingly many times. the rs is a little extra solid, yet for my area, in case you do not have funds, and its your first motor vehicle, get something a splash extra solid.... (i'm gonna hate myself for asserting this) look at a Toyota or Honda... i made the blunders of having a ludicrous motor vehicle as my first and that i had no longer something yet problems with it... i had to spend what little funds i had to maintain the piece of crap working, purchase a first rate motor vehicle for now and spend you cash on a date or something :) -do notcontinual swifter then your parent angel can fly-
It is possible, I wouldn't even consider pulling the engine out. The water pump is usually connected to the timing belt, so you'd have to worry about timing it all up after pulling the belt off to replace it. However, being that your eclipse is an inline 4 cylinder, it shouldn't be hard at all to time.
