Update: Don’t make the mistake I made. I recommend you install the water pump pulley at the same time you install the coolant pump. The pulley of the pump will not clear the v-pulley and you will then need to remove the v-pulley to install it if you wait.
I was super nervous too. You will notice in this video I started with my traditional “Hello UA-cam” and then I installed the pump. Usually I do the work and then I record the intro for the video so I already know the outcome. I’m so happy this worked out. I almost have my first short block! I think this will happen later today if all goes well.
@@TonyLiveTV Cool. Ok, so you did the installation on the fly so to speak. I had a hunch, was thinking "why isn´t he saying anything about how it went? I even started to look for a fail-video after this one but nothing. Looking forward to the next one.
Not very informative! There is a lower bolt concelaed behinf the hamrmonic damper - would be noce if you showed us how to removwe this bolt instead of working on a mockup front cover.
@@jonlechevet8883 really? This is not a mockup front cover. In this video I install the water pump on a real engine just like you will do when you are ready to install your water pump. If you want to know how to remove your harmonic damper then see my video on that procedure. There are two ways you can remove the harmonic damper. One way (if you have the proper tools) is to remove the entire harmonic damper assembly using the big bolt that is in the front. That is what I did because I have the tools. The other way is to remove the 6 smaller bolts that hold the pulley to the main harmonic damper. There is also a manual that will tell you what you need to know. I have a link to the manual in the description. I hope my answer was informative enough for you.

Very nice and informative. Doing the same on 77 450sl. (Only one bolt broken😁)
Thanks for watching. Hopefully the anti-seize prevents broken bolts next time.
Very very nice! Thank God the other one held. Man was I nervous.

Btw, if you´re ever in Stockhol be sure to tell me.
