So, what all needs to be taken off and how do you get that stupid cover off the water pump? What belts and pullys need to b taken off in order to get the cover off? Please lmk asap, this is the only thing that is holding me back to taken her to the open road!

 

If you dont know how to do this.....and you're not gonna pay to have it done, at LEAST spend $12 on a Chilton or Haynes it will walk you through it step by step (follow them ALL) While you're in there do yourself a favor too and replace your timing belt. It's good insurance and you won't have to go back in there unless something fails. But this is not a small job it will take some time and attention. Also most likely an impact gun for your crank pulley.

 

take off valve cover, upper timing belt cover, loosen tensioner, take off bottom cover, take off waterpump. You can figure it out easy

 

Okay so I took off the valve cover, upper timing belt cover and I took off the motor mount for extra room to move around(I know that's more work). I took off the alternator and belt and also the AC belt. I have to the pully that holds the ac belt and alt belt right? Because the rest of the bottom cover is attaches to that. Is there an easy way to take it off? Is it okay if it spins(the timing belt is still attached)? Any help would be Be appreciated!

 

put it in 5th, turn steering wheel all the way to left, get out your biggest breaker bar and have someone step on the brakes

 

I took the left wheel off. And I'll definitely try that today

 

leave wheel on and car on the ground. unless you got an impact, you need the tranny to help you hold that crank

 

Like I said above......you're gonna need an impact

 

A impact would be the way to go. These crank bolts have some serious torque on them.
