Water Pump Replacement X12XE
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 10:53 pm
Hi There, Being quite new to postin I've already put this cry for help in the wrong section.
I'm changing the water pump on a " V " reg cos it's got a noisy bearing. I'm trying to get the engine mounting bracket off to get at the water pump. I have removed three long torx screws that go thro' the bracket to the block but the other end where the rubber bush goes into the chassis is proving to be a bit tricky. There seems to be a bolt thro' the bracket with a nut plus a set screw. I've got the set screw and nut off but the bolt doesn't have a conventional head for a socket and it won't budge even with the nut off. There are four torx screws holding the rubber mounting assembly but I can't get at them for the aluminium bracket.
Help Please ! ! ! ! It's doing my head in
