Is it possible (I know it is.. but how hard is it?) to change water pump without taking out engine mount?

I changed my engine mount about 1 year ago.. I don't want to do it again

Thanks
Sasha

There are a couple of bolts that you have to find by feel. But it took me only a couple of hours with just the back tires on ramps. Not a bad job at all. Check out my picture in an earlier post in this thread. That is looking down from the bulkhead access panel. It's pretty open.

Yes this is the easiest. Engine mound generally is not in the way of the water pump removal. What I found was because I was doing the water pump it meant I would have hoses out of the way which would make the engine mount easier.

Do you need a slightly used water pump
