• Q: How to Replace a Water Pump on a 3.8L Engine on 2007 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: Drain the cooling system before you dismantle the water pump. After that, take off the accessory drive belt shield and the accessory drive belt. Up next, get rid of the bolts holding the water pump pulley, ensuring the water pump pulley is placed between the drive hub and the housing. Maneuver the pulley so its openings meet with the spokes of the water pump drive hub and then move it slightly inwards between the pump housing and hub. Place the pulley at an angle so that you can remove the bolts securing the pump to its bracket. Gently remove the water pump so the pulley is between the hub and the body of the pump. Take off the old seal, wipe down the groove where it sits as well as the places where the seal touches the pump and timing chain case cover.
