I am having a tough time replacing my leaking water pump. Per the directions, the timing belt has to be removed, which can be removed until the crank shaft pulley has been removed. After 2 days of trying
- I can't get the crank shaft pulley off.
Has anyone ever replaced the water pump without totally removing the timing belt?
Any better ideas, or any ideas for anchoring the crank shaft pulley while trying to loosen the bolt holding the pulley on? Any ideas for loosening the bolt?
Any help would be appreciated.
