R33 Water Pump Install

[igota33]

have found a small leak from my water pump so believe it's time for a change.

did a bit of a search. some people are saying timing covers and belts, the whole shebang. others are saying you can remove the pump without doing the rest of the stuff.

engine rebuilt about 50,000km ago. does get driven hard often. any ideas. would prefer maybe just replacing pump and all belts (not the timing belt). any thoughts and ideas?

cheers fellas,

craig

bumpity bump. anyone?

personaly i would do it all... but u could get away without doing belts if they look in good nik

99% sure that the lower bolts on the water pump are covered by the lower timing belt cover.

the lower cover cannot be removed without removing the harmonic balancer.

so most of the belts need to come off anyway .. you could leave the timing belt on once verything else is removed if your careful not to smudge the gasket goo on the new pump as you install it

so how much does the water pump cost roughly?

I still need to change my water pump, idler and tensioner as they are making some noises.

drive in/out 1.5 hours if you have all the tools.
