That is exactly what I do, but I use a RUBBER hammer cause I am getting
sloppy in my older age.

You get a long crescent wrench and a big hammer. Put the wrench on the
pulley nut and smack it loose with the hammer. Works every time. :)

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!!!
