Do i need a pulley puller to remove my water pump pulley?
I have a 1996 ford ranger v6 4.0 liter and i was wondering if i need a pulley puller to remove it and/or what other tools will i be needing. It doesn't seem too hard and it's right there so i think i'm capable. I replaced the serpentine belt but now i need to replace both. Also if anyone would be able to give me a link to a video or kind of give me the gist of replacing the pulley.
Go ahead and replace the water pump.
If you don't care what kind of condition it's in afterwards, you can just use a big hammer.
Watch a youtube video that will show you how to replace the water pump on your vehicle.
Go to Advance Auto and find out if the new water pump comes with the pulley.
If you try to buy parts on line good fricken luck!
It sounds like the water pump bearing has gone bad, not your water pump pulley. If that is true, you are in for a long job here. There are several good videos on youtube that show how to change the water pump. The compressor/power steering bracket has to be removed to access all of the bolts on the water pump.
I have a similar truck with a 3.0 liter engine. You don't need a puller to remove the pulley but you may need a special tool to hold the pulley stationary to remove the fan clutch assembly. The fan and clutch assembly are connected to the water pump with left handed threads on my truck and it can be a bear to remove. I broke a new strap wrench trying to break the fan free. I ended up using an old serpentine belt and vise grips to get it loose. After you remove the fan assembly, the pulley will come off when you remove the four bolts holding it onto the water pump.
Replace the whole water pump instead of putting a new pulley on a water pump that is pretty worn as it is.
- If my power steering pump and pulley break, is there any other parts I may have to potentially replace? Last night when I was driving, my power steering pump busted and also broke my power steering pulley. I have a 2002 ford Taurus. In the process of the pulley breaking off, the serpentine belt came off. It is still on the car so I just have to re position it once the new pulley is on. My question is through this incident, could anything else have broken? I just did a bypass pulley for the AC compressor last week. And I also replaced the serpentine belt last week.

- How to change water pump on 1993 Ford Tempo? I managed to get the drive belt off but I can't seem to get the tube that goes into the water pump off. It seems to be made of metal or something. I also can't seem to reach the 3 bolts that hold the water pump on, they seem to be in places to tight to reach. Any suggestions?
