FSM tells you to take everything off. Leave the Alternator and A/C
Compressor attached - just disconnect the electrical connections and move
the entire bracket to the passenger fender.

Subject: DML: RE: FSM and water pump removal
I've done the water pump on my '93 twice and my '96 once. Some water pumps
have a pressed on pulley which is what you seem to have. Did your new pump
come with a pulley? If not, you need one and I don't think your pressed on
pulley will come off and bolt onto it. Maybe I'm wrong.
Since you have a pressed in pulley, you can stick a couple bolts onto the
holes, leaving them sticking out a bit will allow you to put a screwdriver
between them for leverage. Then put a large wrench on the fan bolt. If you
have someone nearby, have them hold the pulley still with the screwdriver
while you give the wrench a good whack with a hammer. Also, auto parts
stores rent for free a kit for this. Couple more tips:
Keep the belt on to aid in pulley turning prevention.
Defiantly replace the bypass hose while you have everything torn down.
Possibly a thermostat, upper/lower hose too.
I forget what the FSM says but the accessory bracket unbolts and moves
enough without having to remove anything from it (alt, compressor, etc.)
Hope this helps.

Subject: DML: FSM and water pump removal
ok DMLers. I am determined to tackle my water pump myself. :)
I ordered my parts from RockAuto.com. Got the water pump for about $37 and
a gasket.
Plus while I am there I decided to replaced the idler puller with a Gates
pulley cause
that pulley seems to squeal a bit. And I will replace the tensioner pulley
because its
been there for 13 years.
My question is this:
In Section 7, page 15 of 1994 Dakota FSM we have this:
"Use a 36mm fan wrench to turn fan mounting nut _CounterClockwise_ as viewed
from the front......"
and right after that sentence we have this:
"... place a bar or screwdriver between water pump pulley bolts to prevent
pulley from
rotating."
Problem: I don't have any water pump pulley bolts. Apparently there are
supposed to be
4 of them. But all I have on the face of water pump pulley is 4 empty
holes. ( huh? )
Yep. 4 holes.
Do I need to get a special wrench now to hold the pulley in place?
If I do need a special tool, can someone please post a link to it?
thanks!!!
