V6 water pump discovery!

[pistol pete]

Hi dan, it is typically a 2-3 hour job that involves removing the timing belt and drivers mount, perfectly doable in situ though but can be a little tricky if you have never worked on a camry v6 before.

I have this issue with my 3vz, as explained on first post..
so need to change my water pump, is it doable in location on a mk1?

thanks
Pete

Nah, i just like to chuckle a lot at Mk1's. I've done them in situ on Mk2's, you dont need that much room plus you can raise / lower the end of the engine. I would give it a go, the hardest part is going to be getting the belt back on and lined up. I've got a couple of plastic mirrors (the ones that you get in a clipper set) that i use for that kind of stuff.

There's others on here that will be able to say exactly how to do it, but tbph, i would be surprised if it wasn't achievable.
