m60 water pump question

[Boone.Msi]

How did you guys loosen the bottom bolt behind the crank? Im assuming a 10mm open end wrench? I can't find one thin/long enough to get to the bolt, any tips?

You have to remove the main pulley... just take off all the little bolts inside the pulley. It only goes on on way as it does have alignment stud.

well hell, that seems easy enough, didn't look to check, thanks!

[Boone.Msi]

well everything is in, only have one problem. The water pump, alternator, PS belt is slipping off the water pump pulley towards the engine. I may have over tensioned the tensioner pulley, but if thats not it, what else could cause the belt to slip backwards?

Don't quite understand what you mean by the belt slipping backward. Even if you over tighten the pulley, it is not going to affect the belt tension.

[Boone.Msi]

well i sat down and thought real hard on all the possible reasons why the belt would be slipping, and i think i found the reason...its actually quite obvious, i put the ****in pulley on the wrong way.

Il have to take a drive back down to where the cars parked and see if thats what it is, im such an idiot...:D

The pulley on the waterpump?

[Boone.Msi]
