Hi
I am just wondering if there is a special way to remove the water pump in my RB20 R32?
So far I have taken off the alternator, p/s, and ac belts, and removed the top cambelt cover. i've also taken off the clutch fan and removed the radiator to give myself some more room.
My next problem is that I think I need to remove the bottom timing belt cover, which i've undone, but can't get it out because of the Main engine pulley being in the way. I can't get the main engine pulley off because the engine is turning over, even with the car in gear and on the ground. To stop the engine turning over I think I need to block the ring gear, which means I'd have to remove the starter motor.
I'm finding it really hard to believe that I have to remove my starter motor to change my water pump. Is this correct? Is there something that I'm missing? Or another way to do it? Beacuse i'm having incredible difficulty even getting the starter motor out, the car is a GTS4 and there is alot of crap down there making it hard.
Sorry for the long post, does anyone have any insight or guidance on how to overcome all of my problems?
Thanks
