I haven't been able to find any information using the search feature of Stangnet so since I have now removed my alternator I'm thinking that I should also replace the water pump and fan belt. Does any one have any tips or know how to do this??
Yep. Also dont reef on any bolts that dont seem to want to come out (corrosion and galvanization at work).
Keep track of each bolt as you remove it (if overwhelmed, a good idea is to have your new pump sitting out. As you remove a bolt, stick it in the corresponding boss in the new pump. Once the old pump is out, swap the bolts to the old pump and then you can reinstall the new pump w/o having to wonder which bolts go where. Doing this takes less time than it took me to type this. ).
Otherwise, the manual should help. A new bypass hose (and upper and lower if needed) is/are a good idea. Since the system is open, a new stat can be done too.
