water pump

[brianbu]

is it possible to replace a water pump without taking apart the front of the engine, I dont wanna have to that if I dont need to, it does have a new timing belt and I dont want to take it off if I dont have to, it a 2000 3.4,but do I have to remove the harmonic balancer

The timing belt has to come off, to replace the water pump.

That's why it's best to do the timing belt and water pump all at the same time. It sucks that you have to take it all apart again.
