were is it and is it hard to change like on a scale 1-10 (10 being the hardest)????

 

I believe on H series (and most others) the water pump is located on the timming assembly side of the engine. In other words if you were standing in front of the car it would be on the right hand side. Changing it is easy but requires alot of work. Removal of the valve cover, PS Belt, Alternator belt, valve cover, crankpully, timming covers, camgears, and many other things. Since you will be messing around with the timming components, if you dont have any mechanical knowledge or experience with the timming, i wouldnt do it.

 

oh yeah,

Mechanical knowledge/experience : 5

First time: 10

 

i agree. only time ive done my timingbelt/water pump the motor was out of the car. would be a real pita on the car.

 

agree, unless you know what you are doing, do not touch it! It is a bitch! And that is being nice about it!

 

DANG THANKS FOR TELLING ME THAT BEFORE I TRIED IT NOW IM JUST GONNA GET SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR ME

agreed, the cam gears definitely stay on during a timing belt change.
it's a pain no doubt, but quite do-able without dropping the engine out - by removing the side engine mount and the crossbeam bolts, the engine will drop far enought to access the lower T-belt cover and the water pump.
